absorbi ng Mc Pherson Struts attach to the top of the
steeri ng knuckl e and to the front strut tower. Thi s
i nterconnecti on between the steeri ng knuckl e and the
body of the vehi cl e, provi des for the correct steeri ng
knuckl e posi ti on. Thi s steeri ng knuckl e posi ti on pro-
vi des for the correct front Caster and Camber set-
ti ngs for the vehi cl e, at the ti me the vehi cl e i s

Duri ng steeri ng maneuvers, the strut and the
steeri ng knuckl e (through the bal l joi nt and a pi vot
beari ng i n the struts upper retai ner) turn as an
assembl y.
SUSPENSION CRADLE (CROSSMEMBER)
Thi s vehi cl e uses a one pi ece cast al umi num cradl e
for the front suspensi on. The cradl e i s used as the
attachi ng poi nts for the l ower control arms, stabi l i zer
bar and steeri ng gear. The cradl e al so has the power
steeri ng hoses and the chassi s brake tubes attached
to i t.
The cradl e i s mounted to the front frame rai l s at
four poi nts, two on each si de of the vehi cl e. The cra-
dl e i s i sol ated from the body of the vehi cl e usi ng four
i sol ators, one l ocated at each mounti ng bol t l ocati on.
WARNING: If a threaded hole in the suspension
cradle needs to be repaired, only use the type of
thread insert and installation procedure specified
for this application.
The threaded holes in the cradle that are
used for attachment of the lower control arm
rear bushing retainer, power steering hose and
chassis brake tubes can be repaired. The repair
is done by the installation of a Heli-Coil
thread insert which has been specifically devel-
oped for this application. Refer to the Mopar
Parts Catalog for the specified Heli-Coil thread
insert to be used for this application. The pro-
cedure for installing the Heli-Coil thread
insert is detailed in the Service Procedures sec-
tion in this group of the service manual.

The spri ngs are contai ned between an upper seat,
l ocated just bel ow the top strut mount assembl y and
a l ower spri ng seat on the strut fl ui d reservoi r.
The top of each strut assembl y i s bol ted to the
upper fender rei nforcement (strut tower) through a
rubber i sol ated mount.
The bottom of the strut assembl y attaches to the
steeri ng knuckl e wi th two through bol ts. Caster i s a
fi xed setti ng on al l vehi cl es and i s not adjustabl e
when an al i gnment i s performed. I n the event the
camber setti ng on a vehi cl e requi res adjustment, a
servi ce strut i s avai l abl e whi ch wi l l provi de a method
by whi ch the camber can be adjusted.
The strut assembl i es on thi s vehi cl e are i nter-con-

The steeri ng knuckl e (Fi g. 1) i s a si ngl e casti ng
wi th l egs machi ned for attachment of the strut
damper, steeri ng l i nkage, di sc brake cal i per, and
l ower control arm bal l joi nt. The steeri ng knuckl e
al so has the front hub/beari ng assembl y mounted to
i t. The hub i s posi ti oned through the beari ng and
knuckl e, wi th the constant vel oci ty stub shaft spl i ned
through the hub.
LOWER CONTROL ARM
The l ower control arm i s an i ron casti ng. The l ower
control arm i s mounted to and i sol ated from the body
of the vehi cl e usi ng 2 types of rubber bushi ngs. The
front l ower control arm bushi ng i s the spool type and
i s pressed i nto the l ower control arm, whi l e the rear
uses a bushi ng that i s pushed over a stem on the
l ower control arm. The front and rear of the l ower
control arm i s mounted to the cast crossmember
usi ng a pi vot bol t through the center of the front
pi vot bushi ng, and a retai ner whi ch traps the rear
bushi ng i n the crossmember.
The bal l joi nt i s pressed i nto the control arm and
has a non-tapered stud wi th a notch for cl amp bol t
cl earance. The stud i s cl amped and l ocked i nto the
steeri ng knuckl e l eg wi th a cl amp bol t.
The bal l joi nt i s l ubri cated for the l i fe of the vehi -
cl e and does not requi re any peri odi c l ubri cati on.
STABILIZER BAR
The stabi l i zer bar i nterconnects both Mc Pherson

STABILIZER BAR ATTACHING LINK
The stabi l i zer bar attachi ng l i nks are used to
attach each end of the stabi l i zer bar to the front
strut assembl i es. Thi s reduces the fore-and-aft rate of
the stabi l i zer bar from the rest of the vehi cl es front
suspensi on.
HUB AND BEARING ASSEMBLY
The Uni t I I I Front Hub and Beari ng Assembl y i s
used on al l front wheel dri ve vans.
Al l hub and beari ng assembl i es mount to the steer-

CAUTION: A replacement ball joint is not prelubri-
cated. Properly lubricate the replacement ball joint
using Mopar MultiMile grease or an equivalent.
Lubricate ball joint after seal boot is installed but
prior to top of seal boot being pushed down below
notch in ball joint stud (Fig. 41). Air must vent out
of the seal boot at notch when grease is pumped
into ball joint, failure to do so will balloon and dam-
age seal boot. Do not over grease the ball joint, this
will prevent the seal boot from pushing down on
the stud of the ball joint.
CAUTION: After the ball joint is properly greased,
clip the end of the grease fitting off below the hex.
The ball joint seal boot is non-purgeable and further
greasing is not required and can result in damage
to the seal boot.

CAUTION: A replacement ball joint is not prelubri-
cated. Properly lubricate the replacement ball joint
using Mopar MultiMile grease or an equivalent.
Lubricate ball joint after seal boot is installed but
prior to top of seal boot being pushed down below
notch in ball joint stud. Air must vent out of the
seal boot at notch when grease is pumped into ball
joint, failure to do so will balloon and damage seal
boot. Do not over grease the ball joint, this will pre-
vent the seal boot from pushing down on the stud
of the ball joint.
CAUTION: After the ball joint is properly greased,
clip the end of the grease fitting off below the hex.
The ball joint seal boot is non-purgeable and further
greasing is not required and can result in damage
to the seal boot.

DESCRIPTION AND OPERATION
REAR WHEEL ALIGNMENT
Al i gnment adjustment i s not requi red. The rear
axl e al i gnment setti ngs are preset at the factory and
therefore no al i gnment i s necessary.
REAR TRACK BAR
On front wheel dri ve appl i cati ons of thi s vehi cl e

track bar (Fi g. 3) i s used on the rear axl e.
The track bar connects the rear axl e to the frame/
body of the vehi cl e. The track bar i s i sol ated from the
body of the vehi cl e by an i sl oator bushi ng l ocated i n
each end of the track bar.
The track bar (Fi g. 3) prevents excessi ve si de to

to keep the l ocati on of the axl e i n the correct posi ti on
for opti mum handl i ng and control of the vehi cl e.

GENERAL VEHICLE SERVICE CAUTIONS
CAUTION: At no time when servicing a vehicle, can a
sheet metal screw, bolt or other metal fastener be
installed in the shock tower to take the place of an
original plastic clip. Also, NO holes can be drilled into
the front shock tower in the area shown in (Fig. 1), for
the installation of any metal fasteners into the shock
tower. Because of the minimum clearance in this area
(Fig. 1), installation of metal fasteners could damage
the coil spring coating and lead to a corrosion failure
of the spring. If a plastic clip is missing, or is lost or
broken during servicing a vehicle, replace only with
the equivalent part listed in the Mopar parts catalog.
CAUTION: Only the recommended jacking or hoisting
positions for this vehicle are to be used whenever it is
necessary to lift a vehicle. Failure to raise a vehicle
from the recommended locations could result in lifting
a vehicle by the hydraulic control unit mounting
bracket. Lifting a vehicle by the hydraulic control unit
mounting bracket will result in damage to the mount-
ing bracket and the hydraulic control unit.

PROPORTIONING VALVES
FIXED PROPORTIONING VALVE
The hydraul i c brake system on al l vehi cl es i s di ag-
onal l y spl i t. Thi s means that the l eft front and ri ght
rear brakes are on one hydraul i c ci rcui t wi th the
ri ght front and l eft rear brakes on the other hydrau-
l i c ci rcui t.
On vehi cl es equi pped wi th ABS brakes, the brake
systems hydraul i c control uni t (HCU) i s mounted to
the front suspensi on crossmember on the dri vers
si de of the vehi cl e. The (HCU) acts as the hydraul i c
system juncti on bl ock, di agonal l y spl i tti ng the brakes
hydraul i c system.
Al l vehi cl es equi pped wi th ABS brakes use 2 fi xed
proporti oni ng val ves. The fi xed proporti oni ng val ves
are mounted i n a common bracket on the l eft frame
rai l at the rear of the vehi cl e (Fi g. 6).

FIXED PROPORTIONING VALVE OPERATION
The fi xed proporti oni ng val ve i s made out of al umi -

fi xed proporti oni ng val ve i s non-servi ceabl e compo-
nent and must be repl aced as an assembl y i f found to

The fi xed proporti oni ng val ve i s mounted to the
bottom of the l eft rear frame rai l , just forward of the
rear shock absorber to frame rai l mounti ng l ocati on
(Fi g. 6). The proporti oni ng val ve has 2 i nl et ports for
brake fl ui d comi ng from the ABS modul ator, and 2
outl et ports for brake fl ui d goi ng to the rear wheel
brakes.
The fi xed proporti oni ng val ve operates by al l owi ng
ful l hydraul i c pressure to the rear brakes up to a set
poi nt, cal l ed the val ves spl i t poi nt. Beyond thi s spl i t
poi nt the proporti oni ng val ve reduces the amount of
hydraul i c pressure to the rear brakes accordi ng to a

Thus, on l i ght brake pedal appl i cati ons the propor-
ti oni ng val ve al l ows approxi matel y equal brake
hydraul i c pressure to be suppl i ed to both the front
and rear brakes. On heavi er brake pedal appl i cati ons
though, the proporti oni ng val ve wi l l control hydraul i c
pressure to the rear brakes, so that hydraul i c pres-
sure at the rear brakes wi l l be l ower than that at the
front brakes. Thi s control l ed hydraul i c pressure to
the rear brakes prevents excessi ve rear wheel ABS
cycl i ng duri ng moderate stops.
HEIGHT SENSING PROPORTIONING VALVE
CAUTION: The use of after-market load leveling or
load capacity increasing devices on this vehicle are
prohibited. Using air shock absorbers or helper
springs on this vehicle will cause the height sens-
ing proportioning valve to inappropriately reduce
the hydraulic pressure to the rear brakes. This inap-
propriate reduction in hydraulic pressure potentially
could result in increased stopping distance of the
vehicle.
On vehi cl es not equi pped wi th ABS brakes, the
brake systems hydraul i c control uni t (HCU) i s
repl aced by a juncti on bl ock (Fi g. 7). The juncti on
bl ock i s made of al umi num and i s mounted to the

The juncti on bl ock i s used for di agonal l y spl i tti ng the

HEIGHT SENSING PROPORTIONING VALVE OPERATION
The hei ght sensi ng proporti oni ng val ve regul ates

(Fi g. 8). The actuator assembl y i s mounted between
the hei ght sensi ng proporti oni ng val ve and the actua-
tor bracket on the l eft rear l eaf spri ng (Fi g. 8). As the
rear hei ght of the vehi cl e changes dependi ng on the

Thi s change i n vehi cl e hei ght i s transferred through
the movement of the l eft rear l eaf spri ng. As the posi -
ti on of the l eft rear l eaf spri ng changes thi s move-
ment i s transferred through the actuator bracket
(Fi g. 8) to the actuator assembl y (Fi g. 8) and then to
the proporti oni ng val ve.
Thus, the hei ght sensi ng proporti oni ng val ve
al l ows the brake system to mai ntai n the opti mal
front to rear brake bal ance regardl ess of the vehi cl e
l oad condi ti on. Under a l i ght l oad condi ti on, hydrau-
l i c pressure to the rear brakes i s mi ni mi zed. As the
l oad condi ti on of the vehi cl e i ncreases, so does the
hydraul i c pressure to the rear brakes.
The proporti oni ng val ve secti on of the val ve oper-
ates by transmi tti ng ful l i nput hydraul i c pressure to
the rear brakes up to a certai n poi nt, cal l ed the spl i t
poi nt. Beyond the spl i t poi nt the proporti oni ng val ve
reduces the amount of hydraul i c pressure to the rear
brakes accordi ng to a certai n rati o. Thus, on l i ght
brake appl i cati ons, approxi matel y equal hydraul i c

brakes. At heavi er brake appl i cati ons, the hydraul i c
pressure transmi tted to the rear brakes wi l l be l ower
then the front brakes. Thi s wi l l prevent premature
rear wheel l ock-up and ski d.
The hei ght sensi ng secti on of the val ve thus
changes the spl i t poi nt of the proporti oni ng val ve,
based on the rear suspensi on hei ght of the vehi cl e.
When the hei ght of the rear suspensi on i s l ow, the

POWER BRAKE VACUUM BOOSTER OPERATION
Al l vehi cl es use a 270 mm si ngl e di aphragm power
brake vacuum booster.
The power brake booster can be i denti fi ed i f
requi red, by the tag attached to the body of the
booster assembl y (Fi g. 10). Thi s tag contai ns the fol -
l owi ng i nformati on: The producti on part number of
the power booster assembl y, the date i t was bui l t,
and who was the manufacturer of the power brake
vacuum booster.
NOTE: The power brake booster assembly is not a
repairable component and must be replaced as a
complete assembly if it is found to be faulty in any
way. The check valve located in the power brake
booster (Fig. 10) is not repairable but it can be
replaced as an assembly separate from the power
brake booster.
The power brake booster reduces the amount of
force requi red by the dri ver to obtai n the necessary
hydraul i c pressure to stop vehi cl e.
The power brake booster i s vacuum operated. The
vacuum i s suppl i ed from the i ntake mani fol d on the
engi ne through the power brake booster check val ve
(Fi g. 10) and (Fi g. 11).
As the brake pedal i s depressed, the power brake
boosters i nput rod moves forward (Fi g. 11). Thi s
opens and cl oses val ves i n the power booster, al l ow-
i ng atmospheri c pressure to enter on one si de of a

other si de. Thi s di fference i n pressure forces the out-
put rod of the power booster (Fi g. 11) out agai nst the
pri mary pi ston of the master cyl i nder. As the pi stons
i n the master cyl i nder move forward thi s creates the
hydraul i c pressure i n the brake system.
The di fferent engi ne combi nati ons used on thi s
vehi cl e requi re that di fferent vacuum hose routi ngs
to the power brake vacuum booster be used.
Al l vacuum hoses must be routed from the engi ne
to the power brake vacuum booster wi thout ki nks,
excessi vel y ti ght bends or potenti al for damage to the
vacuum hose.
The power brake vacuum booster assembl y mounts
on the engi ne si de of the dash panel , and i s con-
nected to the brake pedal by the i nput push rod (Fi g.
11). A vacuum l i ne connects the power booster to the

the fol l owi ng procedure to test the operati on of the
automati c adjuster.
Pl ace the vehi cl e on a hoi st wi th a hel per i n the
dri vers seat to appl y the brakes. Remove the access
pl ug from the adjustment hol e i n each brake support

BRAKE ROTOR
Any servi ci ng of the rotor requi res extreme care to
mai ntai n the rotor to wi thi n servi ce tol erances to
ensure proper brake acti on.
Before refi ni shi ng or refaci ng a rotor, the rotor
shoul d be checked and i nspected for the fol l owi ng

Excessi ve runout or wobbl e i n a rotor can i ncrease
pedal travel due to pi ston knock-back. Thi s wi l l al so
i ncrease gui de pi n bushi ng wear due to the tendency
of the cal i per to fol l ow rotor wobbl e.
Thi ckness vari ati on i n a rotor can al so resul t i n
pedal pul sati on, chatter and surge due to vari ati on i n

runout i n the rotor and/or the hub.
Di shi ng or di storti on can be caused by extreme
heat and abuse of the brakes.
CHECKING ROTOR FOR RUNOUT AND

PROCEDURE
On a vehi cl e equi pped wi th ABS, premature or

Pri or to testi ng a proporti oni ng val ve for functi on,
check that al l ti re pressures are correct. Al so, ensure
the front and rear brake l i ni ngs are i n sati sfactory

brakes shoe assemblies on a vehicle being
tested, are either original equipment manufac-
turers (OEM), or original replacement brake
shoe assemblies meeting the OEM lining mate-
rial specification. The vehicles brake system is
not balanced for after market brake shoe
assembly lining material.

ti oni ng val ve of the assembl y.
CAUTION: When mounting the original or a
replacement proportion valve on the frame rail of
the vehicle install the mounting bolts in only the
two forward holes of the mounting bracket (Fig. 19).
HEIGHT SENSING PROPORTIONING VALVE
CAUTION: The use of after-market load leveling or
load capacity increasing devices on this vehicle are
prohibited. Using air shock absorbers or helper
springs on this vehicle will cause the height sens-
ing proportioning valve to inappropriately reduce
the hydraulic pressure to the rear brakes. This inap-
propriate reduction in hydraulic pressure potentially
could result in increased stopping distance of the
vehicle.
When a premature rear wheel ski d i s obtai ned on a
brake appl i cati on, i t may be an i ndi cati on that the
hydraul i c pressure to the rear brakes i s above the
speci fi ed output from the proporti oni ng val ve. Thi s

BLEEDING BASE BRAKE HYDRAULIC SYSTEM
NOTE: This bleeding procedure is only for the vehi-
cles base brakes hydraulic system. For bleeding
the antilock brakes hydraulic system, refer to the
ITT Teves Mark 20 Antilock Brake System bleeding
procedure in the antilock brakes section of this ser-
vice manual.
PRESSURE BLEEDING PROCEDURE
CAUTION: Before removing the master cylinder
cover, throughly clean the cover and master cylin-
der fluid reservoir to prevent dirt and other foreign
matter from dropping into the master cylinder fluid
reservoir.
CAUTION: Use bleeder tank Special Tool C-3496-B
with adapter Special Tool 6921 to pressurize the
hydraulic system for bleeding.
CAUTION: When pressure bleeding the brakes
hydraulic system the fluid reservoir filler neck must
be removed from the master cylinder fluid reservoir.
Failure to remove the filler neck from the fluid res-
ervoir, may result in the filler neck separating from
the fluid reservoir when the hydraulic system is
pressurized.
Fol l ow pressure bl eeder manufacturers i nstruc-
ti ons, for use of pressure bl eedi ng equi pment.
When bl eedi ng the brake system, some ai r may be
trapped i n the brake l i nes or val ves far upstream, as
much as ten feet from the bl eeder screw (Fi g. 27).
Therefore, i t i s essenti al to have a fast fl ow of a l arge
vol ume of brake fl ui d when bl eedi ng the brakes to
ensure al l the ai r gets out.
(1) Remove the fi l l er neck from the master cyl i n-
der fl ui d reservoi r.
(2) I nstal l the Adapter Master Cyl i nder Pressure
Bl eed Cap, Speci al Tool 6921 on the fl ui d reservoi r of

(4) Open the l eft rear wheel bl eeder screw at l east
one full turn or more to obtai n an adequate fl ow of
brake fl ui d (Fi g. 29).
CAUTION: Just cracking the bleeder screw often
restricts fluid flow, and a slow, weak fluid discharge
will NOT get all the air out.
(5) After 4 to 8 ounces of brake fl ui d has been bl ed
through the hydraul i c system, and an ai r-free fl ow i s
mai ntai ned i n the hose and jar, thi s wi l l i ndi cate a

(6) Repeat the procedure at al l the other remai n-
i ng bl eeder screws. Then check the pedal for travel .
I f pedal travel i s excessi ve or has not been i mproved,
enough fl ui d has not passed through the system to
expel al l the trapped ai r. Be sure to moni tor the fl ui d

BLEEDING WITHOUT A PRESSURE BLEEDER
NOTE: Correct manual bleeding of the brakes
hydraulic system will require the aid of a helper.
NOTE: To adequately bleed the brakes using the
manual bleeding procedure the rear brakes must be
correctly adjusted. Prior to the manual bleeding of
the brake hydraulic system, correctly adjust the

BRAKE TUBE REPAIR PROCEDURE
CAUTION: When repairing brake chassis lines or
flex hoses, the correct fasteners must be used to
attach the routing clips or hoses to the front sus-
pension cradle. The fasteners used to attach com-
ponents to the front suspension cradle have an
anti-corrosion coating due to the suspension cradle
being made of aluminum. Only Mopar replacement
fasteners with the required anti-corrosion coating
are to be used if a replacement fastener is required
when installing a brake chassis line or flex hose.
Onl y doubl e wal l 4.75mm (3/16 i n.) steel tubi ng
wi th Al -ri ch/ZW-AC al l oy coati ng and the correct tube
nuts are to be used for repl acement of a hydraul i c
brake tube.
NOTE: On vehicles equipped with traction control,
the primary and secondary hydraulic tubes between
the master cylinder and the hydraulic control unit
are 6 mm (15/64 in.). These tubes are also coated
with the Al-rich/ZW-AC alloy and must be replaced
with tubes having the same anti-corrosion coating.
Be sure the correct tube nuts are used for the
replacement of these hydraulic brake tubes.
Care shoul d be taken when repai ri ng brake tubi ng,
to be sure the proper bendi ng and fl ari ng tool s and
procedures are used, to avoi d ki nki ng. Do not route
the tubes agai nst sharp edges, movi ng components or
i nto hot areas. Al l tubes shoul d be properl y attached
wi th recommended retai ni ng cl i ps.

MASTER CYLINDER
CAUTION: Different types of master cylinders are
used on this vehicle. Vehicles equipped with trac-
tion control use a center port master cylinder. Vehi-
cles not equipped with traction control use a
compensating port master cylinder. Be sure to ver-
ify if the vehicle is equipped with traction control
and that the correct replacement master cylinder is
used. Also, vehicles that are equipped with four
wheel disc brakes have a master with a different
size piston bore than the other master cylinders. If
a new master cylinder is being installed, be sure
the correct master cylinder is used for the type of
brake system the vehicle is equipped with.
REMOVE
CAUTION: Vacuum in the power brake booster
must be pumped down (removed) before removing
master cylinder from power brake booster. This is
necessary to prevent the power brake booster from
sucking in any contamination as the master cylin-
der is removed. This can be done simply by pump-
ing the brake pedal, with the vehicles engine not
running, until a firm feeling brake pedal is achieved.
(1) Wi th engi ne not runni ng, pump the brake
pedal unti l a fi rm pedal i s achi eved (4-5 strokes).
CAUTION: Before removing the master cylinder
filler tube from the brake fluid reservoir, the filler
tube, brake fluid reservoir and master cylinder must
be thoroughly cleaned. This must be done to pre-
vent dirt particles from falling into the brake fluid
reservoir and entering the brakes hydraulic system.
(2) Thoroughl y cl ean al l surfaces of the fi l l er neck,

HYDRAULIC BRAKE TUBES AND HOSES
CAUTION: When installing brake chassis lines or
flex hoses on the vehicle, the correct fasteners
must be used to attach the routing clips or hoses to
the front suspension cradle. The fasteners used to
attach components to the front suspension cradle
have an anticorrosion coating due to the suspen-
sion cradle being made of aluminum. Only Mopar
replacement fasteners with the required anti-corro-
sion coating are to be used if a replacement fas-
tener is required when installing a brake chassis
line or flex hose.
Onl y doubl e wal l 4.75mm (3/16 i n.) steel tubi ng
wi th Al -ri ch/ZW-AC al l oy coati ng and the correct tube
nuts are to be used for repl acement of a hydraul i c

NOTE: On vehicles equipped with traction control,
the primary and secondary hydraulic tubes between
the master cylinder and the hydraulic control unit
are 6 mm (15/64 in.). These tubes are also coated
with the Al-rich/ZW-AC alloy and must be replaced
with tubes having the same anti-corrosion coating.
Be sure that the correct tube nuts are used for the
replacement of these hydraulic brake tubes.
Care shoul d be taken when repl aci ng brake tubi ng,
to be sure the proper bendi ng and fl ari ng tool s and
procedures are used, to avoi d ki nki ng. Do not route

PARK BRAKE CABLE ADJUSTMENT
The park brake cabl es on thi s vehi cl e have an
automati c sel f adjuster bui l t i nto the park brake
pedal mechani sm. When the foot operated park brake
pedal i s i n i ts rel eased (upward most) posi ti on, a
cl ock spri ng automati cal l y adjusts the park brake
cabl es. The park brake cabl es are adjusted (ten-
si oned) just enough to remove al l the sl ack from the
cabl es. The automati c adjuster system wi l l not over
adjust the cabl es causi ng rear brake drag.
Due to the automati c adjust feature of the park
brake pedal , adjustment of the parki ng brake cabl es
on these vehi cl es rel i es on proper drum brake and
park brake shoe adjustment. See Rear Brake Adjust-
ment and Park Brake Shoe Adjustment i n the Ser-
vi ce Adjustments Secti on i n thi s group of the servi ce
manual .
When the park brake pedal i s appl i ed the sel f
adjuster i s by-passed and the pedal operates nor-
mal l y to engage the park brakes.
When a servi ce procedure needs to be performed on
the park brake pedal or the park brake cabl es, the
automati c sel f adjuster can be manual l y l ocked out
by the servi ce techni ci an.

ABS BRAKES OPERATION AND VEHICLE
PERFORMANCE
Thi s ABS System represents the current state-of-
the-art i n vehi cl e braki ng systems and offers the
dri ver i ncreased safety and control duri ng braki ng.
Thi s i s accompl i shed by a sophi sti cated system of
el ectri cal and hydraul i c components. As a resul t,
there are a few performance characteri sti cs that may
at fi rst seem di fferent but shoul d be consi dered nor-
mal . These characteri sti cs are di scussed bel ow.
NORMAL BRAKING SYSTEM FUNCTION
Under normal braki ng condi ti ons, the ABS System
functi ons the same as a standard brake system wi th
a di agonal l y spl i t master cyl i nder and conventi onal
vacuum assi st.
ABS SYSTEM OPERATION
I f a wheel l ocki ng tendency i s detected duri ng a
brake appl i cati on, the brake system wi l l enter the
ABS mode. Duri ng ABS braki ng, hydraul i c pressure
i n the four wheel ci rcui ts i s modul ated to prevent
any wheel from l ocki ng. Each wheel ci rcui t i s
desi gned wi th a set of el ectri c sol enoi ds to al l ow mod-
ul ati on, al though for vehi cl e stabi l i ty, both rear
wheel sol enoi ds recei ve the same el ectri cal si gnal .
Duri ng an ABS stop, the brakes hydraul i c system
i s sti l l di agonal l y spl i t. However, the brake system
pressure i s further spl i t i nto four control channel s.
Duri ng anti l ock operati on of the vehi cl es brake sys-
tem the front wheel s are control l ed i ndependentl y
and are on two separate control channel s and the
rear wheel s of the vehi cl e are control l ed together.
The system can bui l d and rel ease pressure at each
wheel , dependi ng on si gnal s generated by the wheel
speed sensors (WSS) at each wheel and recei ved at
the Control l er Anti l ock Brake (CAB).
ABS operati on i s avai l abl e at al l vehi cl e speeds
above 3 to 5 mph. Wheel l ockup may be percei ved at
the very end of an ABS stop and i s consi dered nor-
mal .
VEHICLE HANDLING PERFORMANCE DURING
ABS BRAKING
I t i s i mportant to remember that an anti l ock brake
system does not shorten a vehi cl es stoppi ng di stance
under al l dri vi ng condi ti ons, but does provi de
i mproved control of the vehi cl e whi l e stoppi ng. Vehi -
cl e stoppi ng di stance i s sti l l dependent on vehi cl e
speed, wei ght, ti res, road surfaces and other factors.
Though ABS provi des the dri ver wi th some steer-
i ng control duri ng hard braki ng, there are condi ti ons
however, where the system does not provi de any ben-
efi t. I n parti cul ar, hydropl ani ng i s sti l l possi bl e when
the ti res ri de on a fi l m of water. Thi s resul ts i n the
vehi cl es ti res l eavi ng the road surface renderi ng the
vehi cl e vi rtual l y uncontrol l abl e. I n addi ti on, extreme
steeri ng maneuvers at hi gh speed or hi gh speed cor-
neri ng beyond the l i mi ts of ti re adhesi on to the road
surface may cause vehi cl e ski ddi ng, i ndependent of
vehi cl e braki ng. For thi s reason, the ABS system i s
termed Anti l ock i nstead of Anti -Ski d.
NOISE AND BRAKE PEDAL FEEL
Duri ng ABS braki ng, some brake pedal movement
may be fel t. I n addi ti on, ABS braki ng wi l l create
ti cki ng, poppi ng and/or groani ng noi ses heard by the
dri ver. Thi s i s normal due to pressuri zed fl ui d bei ng
transferred between the master cyl i nder and the
brakes. I f ABS operati on occurs duri ng hard braki ng,
some pul sati on may be fel t i n the vehi cl e body due to
fore and aft movement of the suspensi on as brake
pressures are modul ated.
At the end of an ABS stop, ABS wi l l be turned off
when the vehi cl e i s sl owed to a speed of 34 mph.
There may be a sl i ght brake pedal drop anyti me that
the ABS i s deacti vated, such as at the end of the stop
when the vehi cl e speed i s l ess then 3 mph or duri ng
an ABS stop where ABS i s no l onger requi red. These
condi ti ons wi l l exi st when a vehi cl e i s bei ng stopped
on a road surface wi th patches of i ce, l oose gravel or
sand on i t. Al so stoppi ng a vehi cl e on a bumpy road
surface wi l l acti vate ABS because of the wheel hop
caused by the bumps.
TIRE NOISE AND MARKS
Al though the ABS system prevents compl ete wheel
l ock-up, some wheel sl i p i s desi red i n order to
achi eve opti mum braki ng performance. Wheel sl i p i s
defi ned as fol l ows, 0 percent sl i p means the wheel i s
rol l i ng freel y and 100 percent sl i p means the wheel i s
ful l y l ocked. Duri ng brake pressure modul ati on,
wheel sl i p i s al l owed to reach up to 25 to30%. Thi s
means that the wheel rol l i ng vel oci ty i s 25 to 30%
l ess than that of a free rol l i ng wheel at a gi ven vehi -
cl e speed. Thi s sl i p may resul t i n some ti re chi rpi ng,
dependi ng on the road surface. Thi s sound shoul d not
be i nterpreted as total wheel l ock-up.
Compl ete wheel l ock up normal l y l eaves bl ack ti re
marks on dry pavement. The ABS System wi l l not
l eave dark bl ack ti re marks si nce the wheel never
reaches a ful l y l ocked condi ti on. Ti re marks may
however be noti ceabl e as l i ght patched marks.
START UP CYCLE
When the i gni ti on i s turned on, a poppi ng sound
and a sl i ght brake pedal movement may be noti ced.
Addi ti onal l y, when the vehi cl e i s fi rst dri ven off a
hummi ng may be heard and/or fel t by the dri ver at
approxi matel y 20 to 40 kph (12 to 25 mph). The ABS
warni ng l amp wi l l al so be on for up to 5 seconds
after the i gni ti on i s turned on. Al l of these condi ti ons
are a normal functi on of ABS as the system i s per-
formi ng a di agnosi s check.

PREMATURE ABS CYCLING
NOTE: When working on a vehicle which has a
complaint of premature ABS cycling it may be nec-
essary to use a DRB Scan Tool to detect and verify
the condition.
There i s one compl ai nt cal l ed Premature ABS
Cycl i ng i n whi ch nei ther the Red Brake Warni ng
Lamp nor the Amber Anti l ock Lamp were i l l umi -
nated and no faul t codes were stored i n the CAB.
Symptoms of Premature ABS Cycl i ng, i ncl ude cl i ck-
i ng sounds from the sol enoi ds val ves, pump motor
runni ng and pul sati ons i n the brake pedal . Thi s con-
di ti on can occur at any braki ng rate of the vehi cl e
and on any type of road surface. Thi s creates an
addi ti onal condi ti on whi ch needs to be correctl y
assessed when di agnosi ng probl ems wi th the anti l ock
brake system.
The fol l owi ng condi ti ons are common causes that
need to be checked when di agnosi ng a condi ti on of
Premature ABS Cycl i ng. Damaged tone wheel s,

ABS MASTER CYLINDER AND POWER BRAKE
BOOSTER
A vehicle equipped with Teves Mark 20 ABS
without optional traction control uses the same
type of a master cylinder and power brake
booster (Fig. 1) as a vehicle not equipped with
antilock brakes.
A vehicle equipped with Teves Mark 20 ABS
with Traction control uses a unique center port
master cylinder. If the master cylinder is
replaced on a vehicle equipped with traction
control be sure the right type of master cylin-
der is installed.
A vehicle equipped with four wheel disc
brakes (AWD applications) also have a unique
master cylinder. The master cylinder used on
these vehicles have a piston bore diameter
which is larger then the master cylinder used
on the other brake applications.
The pri mary and secondary outl et ports on the
master cyl i nder go di rectl y to the hydraul i c control
uni t HCU.

wi th the Teves Mark 20 ABS i s di fferent from the
HCU used on previ ous Chrysl er products wi th ABS.
The HCU used on thi s ABS system i s part of the
i ntegrated contol uni t (I CU). The HCU i s part of
what i s referred to as the I CU because the HCU and
the control l er anti l ock brakes (CAB) are combi ned
(i ntegrated) i nto one uni t. Thi s di ffers from previ ous
Chrysl er products wi th ABS, where the HCU and the
CAB were separate components l ocated i n di fferent
areas of the vehi cl e.
Teves Mark 20 ABS uses two di fferent HCUs and
CABs dependi ng on the type of ABS system the vehi -
cl e i s equi pped wi th. There i s a uni que HCU and
CAB for a vehi cl e equi pped wi th just ABS and a
uni que HCU and CAB for a vehi cl e equi pped wi th
ABS and tracti on control .
NOTE: The HCU and CAB used on a vehicle that is
equipped with only ABS and on a vehicle that is
equipped with ABS and traction control are differ-
ent. The HCU on a vehicle equipped with ABS and
traction control has a valve block housing (Fig. 2)
that is approximately 1 inch longer on the low pres-
sure fluid accumulators side than a HCU for a vehi-
cle that is equipped with only ABS.

DESCRIPTION AND OPERATION (Continued)
The I CU i s l ocated on the dri vers si de of the vehi -
cl e, and i s mounted to the front suspensi on cradl e
(Fi g. 3). The ABS only I CU contai ns the fol l owi ng
components for control l i ng the brake system hydrau-
l i c pressure duri ng ABS braki ng: The CAB, ei ght
val ve sol enoi ds, (four i nl et val ves and four outl et
val ves) fl ui d accumul ators a pump, and an el ectri c
motor. The ABS with traction control I CU con-
tai ns the fol l owi ng components for control l i ng the
brake system hydraul i c pressure duri ng ABS braki ng
and tracti on control operati on: The CAB, four sol e-
noi d control l ed i nl et val ves, four sol enoi d control l ed
outl et val ves, two hydraul i c shuttl e val ves, two ASR
val ves, fl ui d accumul ators a pump and an el ectri c
motor. Al so attached to the hydraul i c control uni t are
the master cyl i nder pri mary and secondary brake
tubes and the brake tubes goi ng to each wheel of the
vehi cl e. (Fi g. 3).
CAUTION: No components of the ICU are service-
able. If any component that makes up the ICU is
diagnosed as not functioning properly it MUST be
replaced. The replaceable components of the ICU,
are the HCU and the CAB (Fig. 2) and (Fig. 3). The
mounting bracket is also replaceable as a separate
component of the ICU. The remaining components
of the ICU are not serviceable items. No attempt
should ever be made to remove or service any indi-
vidual components of the HCU. This is due to the
concern of contamination entering the HCU while
performing a service procedure. Also no attempt
should ever be made to remove or service any indi-
vidual components of the CAB.
CAUTION: At no time when servicing the ICU
should a 12 volt power source be applied to any
electrical connector of the HCU or the CAB.
INLET VALVES AND SOLENOIDS
There are four i nl et sol enoi ds, one for each wheel .
I n the rel eased posi ti on they provi de a fl ui d path
from the master cyl i nder to the wheel brakes of the
vehi cl e. When the ABS cycl e has been compl eted the

OUTLET VALVES AND SOLENOIDS
There are four outl et sol enoi ds, one for each wheel .
I n the rel eased posi ti on they are cl osed to al l ow for
normal braki ng. I n the actuated (open) posi ti on, they
provi de a fl ui d path from the wheel brakes of the
vehi cl e to the hydraul i c control uni t HCU accumul a-
tors and pump motor. The outl et sol enoi ds are spri ng
l oaded i n the rel eased (cl osed) posi ti on duri ng normal

ASR VALVE (ABS WITH TRACTION CONTROL
ONLY)
On vehi cl es equi pped wi th ABS havi ng tracti on
control , there are two speci al ASR val ves l ocated i n
the HCU porti on of the I CU. The ASR val ves are a
normal l y open type val ve and are sol enoi d actuated.
The speci al ASR val ves are used to i sol ate the rear
(non-dri ven) wheel s of the vehi cl e from the hydraul i c
pressure that the HCU pump motor i s sendi ng to the
front (dri ven) wheel s, when the tracti on control sys-
tem i s i n operati on. The rear brakes need to be i so-
l ated from the master cyl i nder when tracti on control
i s i n operati on so that the HCU can bui l d the
requi red hydraul i c pressure to the front brakes.

HCU PUMP/MOTOR
The HCU (Fi g. 4) contai ns 2 pump assembl i es, one
for the pri mary and one for the secondary hydraul i c
ci rcui t of the brake system. Both pumps are dri ven
by a common el ectri c motor (Fi g. 4) whi ch i s part of
the HCU. The pumps draw brake fl ui d from the fl ui d
accumul ators to suppl y bui l d pressure to the brakes
duri ng an ABS stop. The pump motor runs duri ng
the dri ve-off cycl e as a check and duri ng an ABS stop

PROPORTIONING VALVES
One assembl y contai ni ng two proporti oni ng val ves
are used i n the system, one for each rear brake
hydraul i c ci rcui t. The proporti oni ng val ve i s l ocated
on the frame rai l next to the fuel tank, forward of the
ri ght rear shock absorber (Fi g. 6). Be sure repl ace-
ment proporti oni ng val ve assembl i es have the same

WHEEL SPEED SENSORS
One Wheel Speed Sensor WSS i s l ocated at each
front and rear wheel of the vehi cl e (Fi g. 7), (Fi g. 8)
and (Fi g. 9). The wheel speed sensor sends a smal l
AC si gnal to the CAB. Thi s si gnal i s generated by
magneti c i nducti on created when a toothed sensor
ri ng (tone wheel ) (Fi g. 7), (Fi g. 8) and (Fi g. 9) passes
the stati onary magneti c wheel speed sensor. The
CAB converts the AC si gnal generated at each wheel
i nto a di gi tal si gnal . I f a wheel l ocki ng tendency i s
detected by the CAB, i t wi l l then modul ate hydraul i c
pressure vi a the HCU to prevent the wheel (s) from

DESCRIPTION AND OPERATION (Continued)
The pri mary functi ons of the (CAB) are:
(1) Detect wheel l ocki ng or wheel sl i ppi ng tenden-
ci es by moni tori ng the speed of al l four wheel s of the
vehi cl e.
(2) I l l umi nate the TRAC l amp i n the message cen-

(4) Moni tor the system for proper operati on.
(5) Provi de communi cati on to the DRB Scan Tool
whi l e i n di agnosti c mode.
(6) Store di agnosti c i nformati on.
(7) The CAB continuously communicates with
the body controller by sending out a message to
the body controller on the CCD Bus. This mes-
sage is used for illumination of the yellow
antilock warning lamp. This is used if the ABS
controller communication is lost in the hard
wire between the body controller and the yel-
low antilock warning lamp. If the body control-
ler does not receive this message fromthe CAB,
the body controller will illuminate the antilock
yellow warning lamp.
The CAB conti nuousl y moni tors the speed of each
wheel through the si gnal s generated by the wheel
speed sensors to determi ne i f any wheel i s begi nni ng
to l ock. When a wheel l ocki ng tendency i s detected,
the CAB commands the CAB command coi l s to actu-
ate. The CAB command coi l s then open and cl ose the
val ves i n the HCU whi ch modul ate brake fl ui d pres-
sure i n some or al l of the hydraul i c ci rcui ts. The CAB

REMOVAL AND INSTALLATION
ABS GENERAL SERVICE PRECAUTIONS
CAUTION: Review this entire section prior to per-
forming any mechanical work on a vehicle equipped
with the ITT Tevis Mark 20 ABS brake system. This
section contains information on precautions per-
taining to potential component damage, vehicle
damage and personal injury which could result
when servicing an ABS equipped vehicle.
CAUTION: Only the recommended jacking or hoist-
ing positions for this vehicle are to be used when-
ever it is necessary to lift a vehicle. Failure to raise
a vehicle from the recommended locations could
result in lifting a vehicle by the hydraulic control
unit mounting bracket. Lifting a vehicle by the
hydraulic control unit mounting bracket will result
in damage to the mounting bracket and the hydrau-
lic control unit.
CAUTION: Certain components of the ABS System
are not intended to be serviced individually.
Attempting to remove or disconnect certain system
components may result in improper system opera-
tion. Only those components with approved
removal and installation procedures in this manual
should be serviced.
CAUTION: Brake fluid will damage painted sur-
faces. If brake fluid is spilled on any painted sur-
faces, wash off with water immediately.
CAUTION: When performing any service procedure
on a vehicle equipped with ABS do not apply a 12
volt power source to the ground circuit of the pump
motor in the CAB. Doing this will damage the pump
motor and will require replacement of the HCU.
The fol l owi ng are general cauti ons whi ch shoul d be
observed when servi ci ng the ABS system and/or
other vehi cl e systems. Fai l ure to observe these pre-
cauti ons may resul t i n ABS System component dam-

DESCRIPTION AND OPERATION
CLUTCH RELEASE SYSTEM
CLUTCH CABLE LHD
The manual transaxl e cl utch rel ease system has a
uni que sel f-adjusti ng mechani sm to compensate for
cl utch di sc wear (Fi g. 7). Thi s adjuster mechani sm i s
l ocated wi thi n the cl utch cabl e assembl y. The prel oad
spri ng mai ntai ns tensi on on the cabl e. Thi s tensi on
keeps the cl utch rel ease beari ng conti nuousl y l oaded
agai nst the fi ngers of the cl utch cover assembl y.
HYDRAULIC CLUTCH RHD
Leverage, cl ampi ng force, and fri cti on are what
make the cl utch work. The di sc serves as the fri cti on
el ement and a di aphragm spri ng and pressure pl ate
provi de the cl ampi ng force. The cl utch pedal , hydrau-
l i c l i nkage, rel ease l ever and beari ng provi de the
l everage to di sengage and engage the modul ar cl utch
assembl y.
The modul ar cl utch assembl y contai ns the cover,
di aphragm spri ng, pressure pl ate, di sc and fl ywheel
i n one uni t. The modul ar cl utch al so uses a dri ve
pl ate and i s bol ted to and dri ven by the dri ve pl ate.
The cl utch l i nkage uses hydraul i c pressure to oper-
ate the cl utch. The cl utch master cyl i nder push rod i s
connected to the cl utch pedal and the sl ave cyl i nder
push rod i s connected to the rel ease l ever i n the
cl utch housi ng.
Depressi ng the cl utch pedal devel ops fl ui d pressure
i n the cl utch master cyl i nder. Thi s pressure i s trans-
mi tted to the sl ave cyl i nder through a connecti ng
l i ne. I n turn, the sl ave cyl i nder operates the cl utch
rel ease l ever.
The cl utch rel ease beari ng i s mounted on the
transmi ssi on front beari ng retai ner. The beari ng i s
attached to the rel ease l ever, whi ch moves the bear-
i ng i nto contact wi th the cl utch cover di aphragm
spri ng.
Sl ave cyl i nder force causes the rel ease l ever to
move the rel ease beari ng i nto contact wi th the di a-
phragm spri ng. As addi ti onal force i s appl i ed, the
beari ng presses the di aphragm spri ng fi ngers i nward
on the ful crums. Thi s acti on moves the pressure
pl ate rearward rel i evi ng cl amp force on the di sc. The
cl utch di sc i s di sengaged and not dri ven at thi s poi nt.
The process of cl utch engagement i s si mpl y the
reverse of what occurs duri ng di sengagement. Rel eas-
i ng pedal pressure removes cl utch l i nkage pressure.
The rel ease beari ng moves away from the di aphragm
spri ng whi ch al l ows the pressure pl ate to exert
cl ampi ng force on the cl utch di sc.

DIAGNOSIS AND TESTING (Continued)
NOTE: Depressing the clutch pedal to the floor pro-
vides access to the clutch cable strand. Disconnect
the cable upstop/spacer from the pedal pivot pin by
removing the retaining clip at the top of the clutch
pedal. Wedge a flat blade pry tool in the clip slot to
remove the clip. Remove the clutch pedal upstop/
spacer from the pedal by wedging a flat blade pry
tool between the spacer and pedal. It may be nec-
essary to push the steel support bracket supporting
the electrical junction block slightly to the left for
clearance to remove the upstop/spacer from the
pedal. Push the cable end fitting out of upstop/
spacer.
CAUTION: Use caution if lifting the clutch pedal
once the clutch pedal/upstop spacer has been
removed. The clutch pedal assist spring provides
enough pedal force to cause an injury. Also, on 2.5L
Turbo Diesel vehicles, lifting the clutch pedal with
the upstop/spacer removed may bend the cruise
control cutout switch bracket located near the top
of the clutch pedal. This will result in non-opera-
tional cruise control.
CAUTION: Do not pull on the clutch cable to
remove it from the dash panel. Damage to the cable
self-adjuster may occur.
NOTE: It may be helpful to remove the battery and
clutch cable guide from the left shock tower to
improve access to the clutch cable dash panel
grommet.

and forms. (Fi g. 3) shows a typi cal system i n the typ-
i cal l ocati on.
See Cool ant Level Servi ce, and Deaerati on, and
Pressure Cap secti ons for operati on and servi ce.
AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION OIL COOLER 2. 4L
Oi l cool er i s i nternal oi l to cool ant type, mounted
i n the radi ator l eft tank (Fi g. 4). Rubber oi l l i nes feed
the oi l cool er and the automati c transmi ssi on. Use
onl y approved transmi ssi on oi l cool er hose. Si nce
these are mol ded to fi t space avai l abl e, mol ded hoses
are recommended.
ENGINE THERMOSTAT
The engi ne cool i ng thermostats are a wax pel l et
dri ven, reverse poppet choke type. They are desi gned
to provi de the fastest warm up possi bl e by prevent-
i ng l eakage through them and to guarantee a mi ni -
mum engi ne operati ng temperature of 88 to 93C
(192 to 199F). They al so automati cal l y reach wi de

temperature of the cool ant ri ses i n hot weather to
around 104C (220F). Above thi s temperature the
cool ant temperature i s control l ed by the fan, the
radi ator, and the ambi ent temperature, not the ther-
mostat.
WATER PUMPS
A qui ck test to tel l whether the pump i s worki ng i s
to see i f the heater warms properl y. A defecti ve pump
can not ci rcul ate heated cool ant through the l ong
heater hose. The water pump on all models can
be replaced without discharging the air condi-
tioning system.
COOLANT
The cool i ng system i s desi gned around the cool ant.
The cool ant must accept heat from engi ne metal , i n
the cyl i nder head area near the exhaust val ves. Cool -
ant then carri es thi s heat to the radi ator, where the
tube/fi n assembl i es of these components can gi ve i t

RADIATOR PRESSURE CAP
The radi ator i s equi pped wi th a pressure cap that
rel eases excessi ve cool i ng system pressure; mai ntai n-
i ng a range of 97-124 kPa (14-18 psi ).
The cool i ng system wi l l operate at hi gher than

Thi s val ve al so opens when cool ant i s cool i ng and
contracti ng al l owi ng cool ant to return to radi ator
from cool ant reserve system tank by vacuum through
connecti ng hose. If valve is stuck shut, or the
coolant recovery hose is pinched, the radiator
hoses will be collapsed on cool down. Clean the
vent valve (Fig. 9) and inspect coolant recovery
hose routing, to ensure proper sealing when
boiling point is reached.
The gasket i n the cap seal s the fi l l er neck, so that
vacuum can be mai ntai ned, al l owi ng cool ant to be

CONDITION - AND CHECKS DIAGNOSIS
Inadequate Air Conditioning Performance - Cooling System Suspected
(1) Check for plugged air side of condenser and
radiator front and rear.
(1) Wash out with low-velocity water.
(2) Assure fan runs whenever A/C head pressure
exceeds 1724 kPa (250 psi).
(2) Repair as necessary.
(3) Check for missing air seals-recirculating air path.
(4) Assure correct cooling system parts.
Battery Dead - Suspect Fan Current Draw as Cause
(1) With a good, fully charged battery. (1) a - Assure fan control is operating properly.
(1) b - See charging system in Electrical, Group 8B.
Hot Smell - Suspect Cooling System
(1) Was temperature gauge high? (1) a - Yes, See Gauge Reads High
(1) b - No. See 2, 3, 4, and 5.
(2) Heat shields all in place? (2) a - Yes, See 3, 4, and 5.
(2) b - Repair or replace heat shields.
(3) Fan control operating properly? (3) a - Yes, See 4 and 5.
(3) b - No, See Radiator Fan Control this section.
(4) Heat exchanger air side plugged? (4) Clean as required.
(5) Engine missing or running rich? (5) Repair as required.
Poor Driveability - Suspect Failed Open Thermostat.
(1) Check diagnostics - is code 17 set? (Engine too
cold for too long)
(1) If yes, change thermostat.
Poor Heater Performance - Suspect Failed Open Thermostat
(1) Does gauge read low? (1) See 3
(2) Check coolant level. (2) See 3
(3) Check diagnostics - is code 17 set? (Engine too
cold for too long)
(3) If yes, change thermostat. If no, check heater
bypass valve, which should be closed except in Max
A/C or off mode; if not, see Heater and Air Conditioning
Group, 24.
Steaming, Observe Water Vapor Through Grill or Head Gap at Standstill at Idle - In Wet Weather
(1) This is normal. It is moisture, snow, or water on the
outside of the radiator that evaporates when the
thermostat opens to put hot coolant into the radiator.
This usually occurs in cold weather with no fan or air
flow to blow it away.
(1) Normal condition - no service required.

RADIATOR FAN CONTROL
Fan control i s accompl i shed two ways. A pressure
transducer on the compressor di scharge l i ne sends a
si gnal to the Powertrai n Control Modul e (PCM)
whi ch wi l l acti vate the fan. I n addi ti on to thi s con-
trol , the fan i s turned on by the temperature of the
cool ant whi ch i s sensed by the cool ant temperature
sensor whi ch sends the message to the PCM. The fan
wi l l not run duri ng cranki ng unti l the engi ne starts
no matter what the cool ant temperature i s.
CAUTION: The solid state fan relay is attached to
the left frame rail near the lower radiator support.
The relay bracket, and fastener are used to dissi-
pate heat from the relay. Ensure the relay is prop-

RADIATOR CAP TO FILLER NECK SEAL PRESSURE
RELIEF CHECK
The pressure cap upper gasket (seal ) pressure
rel i ef can be checked by removi ng the overfl ow hose
at the radi ator fi l l er neck ni ppl e (Fi g. 13). Attach the
Radi ator Pressure Tool to the fi l l er neck ni ppl e and
pump ai r i nto the radi ator. Pressure cap upper gas-
ket shoul d rel i eve at 69-124 kPa (10-18 psi ) and hol d
pressure at 55 kPa (8 psi ) mi ni mum.
WARNING: THE WARNING WORDS DO NOT
OPEN HOT ON THE RADIATOR PRESSURE CAP IS
A SAFETY PRECAUTION. WHEN HOT, PRESSURE
BUILDS UP IN COOLING SYSTEM. TO PREVENT
SCALDING OR INJURY, THE RADIATOR CAP
SHOULD NOT BE REMOVED WHILE THE SYSTEM
IS HOT OR UNDER PRESSURE.
There i s no need to remove the radi ator cap at any
ti me except for the fol l owi ng purposes:
(1) Check and adjust cool ant freeze poi nt. By add-
i ng or subtracti ng cool ant through CRS bottl e.
(2) Refi l l system wi th new cool ant.
(3) Conducti ng servi ce procedures.
(4) Checki ng for vacuum l eaks.
WARNING: IF VEHICLE HAS BEEN RUN
RECENTLY, WAIT 15 MINUTES BEFORE REMOVING
CAP. THEN PLACE A SHOP TOWEL OVER THE CAP
AND WITHOUT PUSHING DOWN ROTATE COUN-
TERCLOCKWISE TO THE FIRST STOP. ALLOW FLU-
IDS TO ESCAPE THROUGH THE OVERFLOW TUBE
AND WHEN THE SYSTEM STOPS PUSHING COOL-
ANT AND STEAM INTO THE CRS TANK AND PRES-
SURE DROPS PUSH DOWN AND REMOVE THE CAP
COMPLETELY. SQUEEZING THE RADIATOR INLET
HOSE WITH A SHOP TOWEL (TO CHECK PRES-
SURE) BEFORE AND AFTER TURNING TO THE
FIRST STOP IS RECOMMENDED.
PRESSURE TESTING RADIATOR CAP
Di p the pressure cap i n water, cl ean any deposi ts
off the vent val ve or i ts seat and appl y cap to end of
Radi ator Pressure Tool . Worki ng the pl unger, bri ng
the pressure to 104 kPa (15 psi ) on the gauge. I f the
pressure cap fai l s to hol d pressure of at l east 97 kPa
(14 psi ) repl ace cap. See CAUTION.
I f the pressure cap tests properl y whi l e posi ti oned
on Radi ator Pressure Tool (Fi g. 14), but wi l l not hol d
pressure or vacuum when posi ti oned on the radi ator.
I nspect the radi ator fi l l er neck and cap top gasket for
i rregul ari ti es that may prevent the cap from seal i ng
properl y.
CAUTION: Radiator Pressure Tool is very sensitive
to small air leaks that will not cause cooling system
problems. A pressure cap that does not have a his-
tory of coolant loss should not be replaced just
because it leaks slowly when tested with this tool.
Add water to the tool. Turn tool upside down and
recheck pressure cap to confirm that cap is bad.

SERVICE PROCEDURES
COOLANT LEVEL CHECK ROUTINE
Do not remove radiator cap for routine cool-
ant level inspections.
The cool ant reserve system provi des a qui ck vi sual
method for determi ni ng the cool ant l evel wi thout
removi ng the radi ator cap. With the engine cold
and not running, si mpl y observe the l evel of the
cool ant i n the reserve tank (Fi g. 3). The cool ant l evel
shoul d be between the mi ni mum and maxi mum
marks.
COOLANT ADDING ADDITIONAL
The radiator cap should not be removed.
When addi ti onal cool ant i s needed to mai ntai n thi s
l evel , i t shoul d be added to the cool ant reserve tank.
Use onl y 50/50 mi x of ethyl ene gl ycol type anti freeze
and water.
CAUTION: Do not use well water, or suspect water
supply in cooling system. A 50/50 ethylene glycol
and distilled water mix is recommended.
COOLANT LEVEL SERVICE
The cool i ng system i s cl osed and desi gned to mai n-
tai n cool ant l evel to the top of the radi ator.
When servi ci ng requi res a cool ant l evel check i n
the radi ator, the engi ne must be off and not under
pressure. Drai n several ounces of cool ant from the
radi ator drai ncock whi l e observi ng the Cool ant
Recovery System (CRS) Tank. Cool ant l evel i n the
CRS tank shoul d drop sl i ghtl y. Then remove the radi -
ator cap. The radi ator shoul d be ful l to the top. I f
not, and the cool ant l evel i n the CRS tank i s at the
MI N mark there i s an ai r l eak i n the CRS system.
Check hose or hose connecti ons to the CRS tank,
radi ator fi l l er neck or the pressure cap seal to the
radi ator fi l l er neck for l eaks.
COOLING SYSTEM DRAINING
Without removing radiator pressure cap and
with system not under pressure, shut engi ne off
and open drai ncock. The cool ant reserve tank shoul d
empty fi rst, then remove radi ator pressure cap. (i f
not, see Testi ng Cool i ng System for l eaks). To vent
2.4L engi ne remove the cool ant temperature sensor
l ocated above water outl et housi ng (Fi g. 15). The 3.0/
3.3/3.8L engi nes have an ai r bl eed vent on the ther-
mostat.
Removal of a sensor i s requi red because the ther-
mostat does not have an ai r vent. Sensor removal
al l ows an ai r bl eed for cool ant to drai n from the
engi ne bl ock.

THERMOSTAT OPERATION
2.5 VM DIESEL
The engi ne cool i ng thermostats are wax pel l et
dri ven, reverse poppet choke type. They are desi gned
to provi de the fastest warm up possi bl e by prevent-
i ng l eakage through them and to guarantee a mi ni -
mum engi ne operati ng temperature (Fi g. 10). The
thermostat has a hol e to bl eed off ai r i n the cool i ng
system duri ng engi ne warm up. The thermostat
begi ns to open at 80 C 2 (176 F 4).
PRESSURE/VENT CAP
WARNING: Engine coolant can reach temperatures
of 200 fahrenheit or greater. If the cooling system
is opened with coolant at a high temperature, hot
coolant can be forced out of the system under high
pressures, causing personal injury. Allow system to
cool down prior to removing the pressure cap.
The pressure/vent cap i s secured to the cool ant
tank neck by a means of a cam l ock system. Thi s cap
rel eases excess pressure at some poi nt wi thi n a
range of 90-117 kPa (13- 17 psi ) for gasol i ne engi nes,
and 110124 kPa (1618 psi ) for di esel engi nes. The
actual pressure rel i ef poi nt (i n pounds) i s l abel ed on
top of the cap (Fi g. 11).
The cool i ng system wi l l operate at pressures
sl i ghtl y above atmospheri c pressure. Thi s resul ts i n a
hi gher cool ant boi l i ng poi nt al l owi ng i ncreased radi -
ator cool i ng capaci ty. The cap (Fi g. 11) contai ns a
spri ng-l oaded pressure rel i ef val ve. Thi s val ve opens
when system pressure reaches approxi matel y 103
kPa (15 psi ).
When the engi ne i s cool i ng down, vacuum i s
formed wi thi n the cool i ng system. To prevent col l apse
of the radi ator and cool ant hoses from thi s vacuum, a
vacuum val ve i s used wi thi n the cap. Thi s val ve pre-
vents excessi ve pressure di fferences from occurri ng
between the cl osed cool i ng system and the atmo-
sphere. I f the vacuum val ve i s stuck shut, the radi a-
tor and/or cool i ng system hoses wi l l col l apse on cool -

COOLANT PERFORMANCE
ETHYLENE-GLYCOL MIXTURES
The requi red ethyl ene-gl ycol (anti freeze) and water
mi xture depends upon the cl i mate and vehi cl e oper-
ati ng condi ti ons. The recommended mi xture of 50/50
ethyl ene-gl ycol and water wi l l provi de protecti on
agai nst freezi ng to -37 deg. C (-35 deg. F). The anti -
freeze concentrati on must always be a mi ni mum of
44 percent, year-round i n al l cl i mates. If percentage
is lower than 44 percent, engine parts may be
eroded by cavitation, and cooling system com-
ponents may be severely damaged by corrosion.
Maxi mum protecti on agai nst freezi ng i s provi ded
wi th a 68 percent anti freeze concentrati on, whi ch
prevents freezi ng down to -67.7 deg. C (-90 deg. F). A
hi gher percentage wi l l freeze at a warmer tempera-
ture.
100 Percent Ethylene-Glycol Should Not Be Used in
Chrysler Vehicles
Use of 100 percent ethyl ene-gl ycol wi l l cause for-
mati on of addi ti ve deposi ts i n the system, as the cor-
rosi on i nhi bi ti ve addi ti ves i n ethyl ene-gl ycol requi re
the presence of water to di ssol ve. The deposi ts act as
i nsul ati on, causi ng temperatures to ri se to as hi gh as
149 deg. C (300) deg. F). Thi s temperature i s hot
enough to mel t pl asti c and soften sol der. The
i ncreased temperature can resul t i n engi ne detona-
ti on. I n addi ti on, 100 percent ethyl ene-gl ycol freezes
at 22 deg. C (-8 deg. F ).
Propylene-glycol Formulations Should Not Be Used in
Chrysler Vehicles
Propylene-glycol formulations do not meet
Chrysler coolant specifications. I ts overal l effec-
ti ve temperature range i s smal l er than that of ethyl -
ene-gl ycol . The freeze poi nt of 50/50 propyl ene-gl ycol
and water i s -32 deg. C (-26 deg. F). 5 deg. C hi gher
than ethyl ene-gl ycol s freeze poi nt. The boi l i ng poi nt
(protecti on agai nst summer boi l -over) of propyl ene-
gl ycol i s 125 deg. C (257 deg. F ) at 96.5 kPa (14 psi ),
compared to 128 deg. C (263 deg. F) for ethyl ene-gl y-
col . Use of propyl ene-gl ycol can resul t i n boi l -over or
freeze-up i n Chrysl er vehi cl es, whi ch are desi gned for
ethyl ene-gl ycol . Propyl ene gl ycol al so has poorer heat
transfer characteri sti cs than ethyl ene gl ycol . Thi s
can i ncrease cyl i nder head temperatures under cer-
tai n condi ti ons.
Propylene-glycol/Ethylene-glycol Mixtures Should Not Be
Used in Chrysler Vehicles
Propyl ene-gl ycol /ethyl ene-gl ycol Mi xtures can
cause the destabi l i zati on of vari ous corrosi on i nhi bi -
tors, causi ng damage to the vari ous cool i ng system
components. Al so, once ethyl ene-gl ycol and propy-
l ene-gl ycol based cool ants are mi xed i n the vehi cl e,
conventi onal methods of determi ni ng freeze poi nt wi l l
not be accurate. Both the refracti ve i ndex and spe-
ci fi c gravi ty di ffer between ethyl ene gl ycol and propy-
l ene gl ycol .
CAUTION: Richer antifreeze mixtures cannot be
measured with normal field equipment and can
cause problems associated with 100 percent ethyl-
ene-glycol.

The battery stores, stabi l i zes, and del i vers el ectri -
cal current to operate vari ous el ectri cal systems i n
the vehi cl e. The determi nati on of whether a battery
i s good or bad i s made by i ts abi l i ty to accept a
charge. I t al so must suppl y hi gh-amperage current
for a l ong enough peri od to be abl e to start the vehi -
cl e. The capabi l i ty of the battery to store el ectri cal
current comes from a chemi cal reacti on. Thi s reac-
ti on takes pl ace between the sul furi c aci d sol uti on
(el ectrol yte) and the l ead +/- pl ates i n each cel l of the
battery. As the battery di scharges, the pl ates react
wi th the aci d from the el ectrol yte. When the chargi ng
system charges the battery, the water i s converted to
sul furi c aci d i n the battery. The concentrati on of aci d
i n the el ectrol yte i s measured as speci fi c gravi ty
usi ng a hydrometer. The ori gi nal equi pment (OE)
battery i s equi pped wi th a hydrometer (test i ndi ca-
tor) bui l t i nto the battery cover. The speci fi c gravi ty
i ndi cates the batterys state-of-charge. The OE bat-
tery i s seal ed and water cannot be added.
The battery i s vented to rel ease gases that are cre-
ated when the battery i s bei ng charged and di s-
charged. The battery top, posts, and termi nal s shoul d
be cl eaned when other under hood mai ntenance i s
performed.
When the el ectrol yte l evel i s bel ow the top of the

wi l l accept a hi gher rate as battery temperature
warms.
CHARGER CAPACITY
A charger whi ch can suppl y onl y fi ve amperes wi l l
requi re a much l onger peri od of chargi ng than a
charger that can suppl y 20 amperes or more.
STATE OF CHARGE
A compl etel y di scharged battery requi res more
chargi ng ti me than a parti al l y charged battery. El ec-
trol yte i s nearl y pure water i n a compl etel y di s-

GENERAL INFORMATION
INTRODUCTION
The battery stores, stabi l i zes, and del i vers el ectri -
cal current to operate vari ous el ectri cal systems i n
the vehi cl e (Fi g. 1). The determi nati on of whether a
battery i s good or bad i s made by i ts abi l i ty to accept
a charge. I t al so must suppl y hi gh-amperage current
for a l ong enough peri od to be abl e to start the vehi -
cl e. The capabi l i ty of the battery to store el ectri cal
current comes from a chemi cal reacti on. Thi s reac-
ti on takes pl ace between the sul furi c aci d sol uti on
(el ectrol yte) and the l ead +/- pl ates i n each cel l of the
battery. As the battery di scharges, the pl ates react
wi th the aci d from the el ectrol yte. When the chargi ng
system charges the battery, the water i s converted to
sul furi c aci d i n the battery. The concentrati on of aci d
i n the el ectrol yte i s measured as speci fi c gravi ty
usi ng a hydrometer. The speci fi c gravi ty i ndi cates the
batterys state-of-charge.
The battery i s vented to rel ease gases that are cre-
ated when the battery i s bei ng charged and di s-
charged.
The battery top, posts, and termi nal s shoul d be
cl eaned when other under hood mai ntenance i s per-
formed.
The battery top, posts, cabl e cl amps must be
cl eaned and battery must be compl etel y charged
before di agnosti c procedures are performed.

DESCRIPTION AND OPERATION
BATTERY IGNITION OFF DRAW (IOD)
A compl etel y normal vehi cl e wi l l have a smal l
amount of current drai n on the battery wi th the key
out of the i gni ti on. I t can range from 5 to 25 mi l l i -
amperes after al l the modul es ti me out. I f a vehi cl e
wi l l not be operated for approxi matel y a 20 days, the
I OD fuse shoul d be pul l ed to el i mi nate the vehi cl e
el ectri cal drai n on the battery. The I OD fuse i s
l ocated i n the Power Di stri buti on Center (PDC).
Refer to the PDC cover for proper fuse.
CHARGING TIME REQUIRED
WARNING: NEVER EXCEED 20 AMPS WHEN
CHARGING A COLD -1C (30F) BATTERY. PER-
SONAL INJURY MAY RESULT.
The ti me requi red to charge a battery wi l l vary
dependi ng upon the fol l owi ng factors.
SIZE OF BATTERY
A compl etel y di scharged l arge heavy-duty battery
may requi re more rechargi ng ti me than a compl etel y
di scharged smal l capaci ty battery, refer to (Fi g. 2) for
chargi ng ti mes.
TEMPERATURE
A l onger ti me wi l l be needed to charge a battery at
-18C (0F) than at 27C (80F). When a fast charger
i s connected to a col d battery, current accepted by
battery wi l l be very l ow at fi rst. I n ti me, the battery
wi l l accept a hi gher rate as battery temperature
warms.
CHARGER CAPACITY
A charger whi ch can suppl y onl y fi ve amperes wi l l
requi re a much l onger peri od of chargi ng than a
charger that can suppl y 20 amperes or more.
STATE OF CHARGE
A compl etel y di scharged battery requi res more
chargi ng ti me than a parti al l y charged battery. El ec-
trol yte i s nearl y pure water i n a compl etel y di s-
charged battery. At fi rst, the chargi ng current
amperage wi l l be l ow. As water i s converted back to
sul furi c aci d i nsi de the battery, the current amp rate
wi l l ri se. Al so, the speci fi c gravi ty of the el ectrol yte
wi l l ri se. The el ectrol yte shoul d be tested wi th a
Hydrometer to check the speci fi c gravi ty.
USING HYDROMETER
Before performi ng a hydrometer test, remove the
battery caps and check the el ectrol yte l evel . Add di s-
ti l l ed water as requi red.
NOTE: Periodically disassemble the hydrometer
and wash components with soap and water. Inspect
the float for possible leaks. If the paper inside has
turned brown, the float is defective.
Before testi ng, vi sual l y i nspect the battery for any
damage:
Cracked contai ner or cover
Loose post
Corrosi on
and any other thi ng that woul d cause the battery
to be unservi ceabl e. To i nterpret the hydrometer cor-
rectl y, hol d i t wi th the top surface of the el ectrol yte
i n the hydrometer at eye l evel .
Di sregard the curvature of the l i qui d where the
surface ri ses agai nst the fl oat because of surface
cohesi on (Fi g. 3). Remove onl y enough el ectrol yte
from the battery to keep the fl oat off the bottom of
the hydrometer barrel wi th pressure on the bul b
rel eased. Keep the hydrometer i n a verti cal posi ti on
whi l e drawi ng the el ectrol yte i nto the hydrometer
and observi ng the speci fi c gravi ty. Exerci se care
when i nserti ng the ti p of the hydrometer i nto a cel l
to avoi d damage to the separators. Damaged separa-
tors can cause premature battery fai l ure.
Hydrometer fl oats are general l y cal i brated to i ndi -
cate the speci fi c gravi ty correctl y onl y at one fi xed
temperature, 20C (68F). When testi ng the speci fi c
gravi ty at any other temperature, a correcti on factor
i s requi red, otherwi se speci fi c gravi ty readi ngs wi l l
not i ndi cate the true state of charge.
The correcti on factor i s approxi matel y a speci fi c

GENERAL INFORMATION
OVERVIEW
The battery, starti ng, and chargi ng systems oper-
ate wi th one another, and must be tested as a com-
pl ete system. I n order for the vehi cl e to start and
charge properl y, al l of the components i nvol ved i n
these systems must perform wi thi n speci fi cati ons.
Group 8A covers the battery, Group 8B covers the
starti ng system, and Group 8C covers the chargi ng
system. Refer to Group 8W - Wi ri ng Di agrams for
compl ete ci rcui t descri pti ons and di agrams. We have
separated these systems to make i t easi er to l ocate
the i nformati on you are seeki ng wi thi n thi s Servi ce
Manual . However, when attempti ng to di agnose any
of these systems, i t i s i mportant that you keep thei r
i nterdependency i n mi nd.
The di agnosti c procedures used i n these groups
i ncl ude the most basi c conventi onal di agnosti c meth-
ods to the more sophi sti cated On-Board Di agnosti cs
(OBD) bui l t i nto the Powertrai n Control Modul e
(PCM). Use of an i nducti on ammeter, vol t/ohmmeter,
battery charger, carbon pi l e rheostat (l oad tester),
and 12-vol t test l amp may be requi red.
Al l OBD-sensed systems are moni tored by the
PCM. Each moni tored ci rcui t i s assi gned a Di agnos-
ti c Troubl e Code (DTC). The PCM wi l l store a DTC i n
el ectroni c memory for any fai l ure i t detects. See the
On-Board Di agnosti cs Test i n Group 8C - Chargi ng
System for more i nformati on.
DESCRIPTION AND OPERATION
CHARGING SYSTEM OPERATION
The chargi ng system consi sts of:
Generator
El ectroni c Vol tage Regul ator (EVR) ci rcui try
wi thi n the Powertrai n Control Modul e (PCM)
I gni ti on swi tch (refer to Group 8D, I gni ti on Sys-
tem for i nformati on)
Battery (refer to Group 8A, Battery for i nforma-
ti on)
Temperature i s measured by a sensor i n the
PCM ci rcui try
Wi ri ng harness and connecti ons (refer to Group
8W, Wi ri ng for i nformati on)
The chargi ng system i s turned on and off wi th the
i gni ti on swi tch. When the i gni ti on swi tch i s turned to
the ON posi ti on, battery vol tage i s appl i ed to the
generator rotor through one of the two fi el d termi -
nal s to produce a magneti c fi el d. The generator i s
dri ven by the engi ne through a serpenti ne bel t and
pul l ey arrangement.
The amount of DC current produced by the gener-
ator i s control l ed by the EVR (fi el d control ) ci rcui try,
contai ned wi thi n the PCM. Thi s ci rcui try i s con-
nected i n seri es wi th the second rotor fi el d termi nal
and ground.
Al l vehi cl es are equi pped wi th On-Board Di agnos-
ti cs (OBD). Al l OBD-sensed systems, i ncl udi ng the
EVR (fi el d control ) ci rcui try, are moni tored by the
PCM. Each moni tored ci rcui t i s assi gned a Di agnos-
ti c Troubl e Code (DTC). The PCM wi l l store a DTC i n
el ectroni c memory for any fai l ure i t detects. See On-
Board Di agnosti c System Test i n thi s group for more
i nformati on.
NS CHARGING SYSTEM 8C - 1
GENERATOR
The generator i s bel t-dri ven by the engi ne. I t i s
servi ced onl y as a compl ete assembl y. I f the genera-
tor fai l s for any reason, the enti re assembl y must be
repl aced.
As the energi zed rotor begi ns to rotate wi thi n the
generator, the spi nni ng magneti c fi el d i nduces a cur-
rent i nto the wi ndi ngs of the stator coi l . Once the
generator begi ns produci ng suffi ci ent current, i t al so
provi des the current needed to energi ze the rotor.
The Y type stator wi ndi ng connecti ons del i ver the
i nduced AC current to 3 posi ti ve and 3 negati ve
di odes for recti fi cati on. From the di odes, recti fi ed DC
current i s del i vered to the vehi cl e el ectri cal system
through the generator, battery, and ground termi nal s.
Noi se emi tti ng from the generator may be caused
by:
Worn, l oose or defecti ve beari ngs
Loose or defecti ve dri ve pul l ey
I ncorrect, worn, damaged or mi sadjusted dri ve
bel t
Loose mounti ng bol ts
Mi sal i gned dri ve pul l ey
Defecti ve stator or di ode
BATTERY TEMPERATURE SENSOR
The temperature sensor, i n the PCM, i s used to
determi ne the battery temperature. Thi s temperature
data, al ong wi th data from moni tored l i ne vol tage, i s
used by the PCM to vary the battery chargi ng rate.
System vol tage wi l l be hi gher at col der temperatures
and i s gradual l y reduced at warmer temperatures.
ELECTRONIC VOLTAGE REGULATOR
The El ectroni c Vol tage Regul ator (EVR) i s not a
separate component. I t i s actual l y a vol tage regul at-
i ng ci rcui t l ocated wi thi n the Powertrai n Control
Modul e (PCM). The EVR i s not servi ced separatel y. I f
repl acement i s necessary, the PCM must be repl aced.
Operation: The amount of DC current produced
by the generator i s control l ed by EVR ci rcui try con-
tai ned wi thi n the PCM. Thi s ci rcui try i s connected i n
seri es wi th the generators second rotor fi el d termi nal
and i ts ground.
Vol tage i s regul ated by cycl i ng the ground path to
control the strength of the rotor magneti c fi el d. The
EVR ci rcui try moni tors system l i ne vol tage and bat-
tery temperature (refer to Battery Temperature Sen-
sor for more i nformati on). I t then compensates and
regul ates generator current output accordi ngl y. Al so
refer to Chargi ng System Operati on for addi ti onal
i nformati on.
DIAGNOSIS AND TESTING
CHARGING SYSTEM
When the i gni ti on swi tch i s turned to the ON posi -
ti on, battery potenti al wi l l regi ster on the vol tmeter.
Duri ng engi ne cranki ng a l ower vol tage wi l l appear
on the meter. Wi th the engi ne runni ng, a vol tage
readi ng hi gher than the fi rst readi ng (i gni ti on i n ON)
shoul d regi ster.
The fol l owi ng are possi bl e symptoms of a chargi ng
system faul t:
The vol tmeter does not operate properl y
An undercharged or overcharged battery condi -
ti on occurs.
Remember that an undercharged battery i s often
caused by:
Accessori es bei ng l eft on wi th the engi ne not

DIAGNOSTIC TROUBLE CODES
Refer to Group 25, On Board Di agnosti c for more
i nformati on. A DTC descri pti on can be read usi ng the
DRB scan tool . Refer to the appropri ate Powertrai n
Di agnosti c Procedures manual for i nformati on.
A DTC does not i denti fy whi ch component i n a ci r-
cui t i s bad. Thus, a DTC shoul d be treated as a
symptom, not as the cause for the probl em. I n some
cases, because of the desi gn of the di agnosti c test
procedure, a DTC can be the reason for another DTC
to be set. Therefore, i t i s i mportant that the test pro-
cedures be fol l owed i n sequence, to understand what
caused a DTC to be set.
ERASING DIAGNOSTIC TROUBLE CODES
The DRB Scan Tool must be used to erase a DTC.

IGNITION SYSTEM
NOTE: The 2.4, 3.0 and 3.3/3.8L engines use a fixed
ignition timing system. Basic ignition timing is not
adjustable. All spark advance is determined by the
Powertrain Control Module (PCM).
The di stri butorl ess i gni ti on system used on 2.4 and
3.3/3.8L engi nes i s refered to as the Di rect I gni ti on
System (DI S). The systems three mai n components
are the coi l pack, crankshaft posi ti on sensor, and
camshaft posi ti on sensor. The crankshaft posi ti on
sensor and camshaft posi ti on sensor are hal l effect
devi ces.
The 3.0L engi ne uses a di stri butor, crankshaft sen-
sor and i gni ti on coi l . The systems mai n components
are the di stri butor, di stri butor pi ckup, camshaft si g-
nal , crankshaft si gnal and i gni ti on coi l .
SPARK PLUGS2. 4/3. 0L
Al l engi nes use resi stor spark pl ugs. They have
resi stance val ues rangi ng from 6,000 to 20,000 ohms
when checked wi th at l east a 1000 vol t spark pl ug
tester.
Do not use an ohm meter to check the resis-
tance of the spark plugs. This will give an inac-
curate reading.
Remove the spark pl ugs and exami ne them for
burned el ectrodes and foul ed, cracked or broken por-
cel ai n i nsul ators. Keep pl ugs arranged i n the order
i n whi ch they were removed from the engi ne. An i so-
l ated pl ug di spl ayi ng an abnormal condi ti on i ndi cates
that a probl em exi sts i n the correspondi ng cyl i nder.
Repl ace spark pl ugs at the i nterval s recommended i n

There are 3 sets of sl ots. Each set contai ns 4 sl ots,
for a total of 12 sl ots (Fi g. 7). Basi c ti mi ng i s set by

posi ti on sensor represent the 69, 49, 29, and 9

CAMSHAFT POSITION SENSOR
The camshaft posi ti on sensor provi des cyl i nder
i denti fi cati on to the Powertrai n Control Modul e

groups of notches on the camshaft sprocket pass
underneath i t (Fi g. 10). The PCM keeps track of
crankshaft rotati on and i denti fi es each cyl i nder by
the pul ses generated by the notches on the camshaft
sprocket. Four crankshaft pul ses fol l ow each group of
camshaft pul ses.
When the PCM recei ves 2 cam pul ses fol l owed by
the l ong fl at spot on the camshaft sprocket, i t knows
that the crankshaft ti mi ng marks for cyl i nder 1 are

When metal al i gns wi th the sensor, vol tage goes
l ow (l ess than 0.3 vol ts). When a notch al i gns wi th
the sensor, vol tage swi tches hi gh (5.0 vol ts). As a
group of notches pass under the sensor, the vol tage
swi tches from l ow (metal ) to hi gh (notch) then back

CAUTION: Never attempt to file the electrodes or
use a wire brush for cleaning platinum spark plugs.
This would damage the platinum pads which would
shorten spark plug life.
Some fuel refi ners i n several areas of the Uni ted
States have i ntroduced a manganese addi ti ve (MMT)
for unl eaded fuel . Duri ng combusti on, fuel wi th MMT
may coat the enti re ti p of the spark pl ug wi th a rust

CRANKSHAFT POSITION SENSOR
The PCM determi nes what cyl i nder to fi re from the
crankshaft posi ti on sensor i nput and the camshaft
posi ti on sensor i nput. The second crankshaft counter-
wei ght has machi ned i nto i t two sets of four ti mi ng
reference notches and a 60 degree si gnature notch
(Fi g. 1). From the crankshaft posi ti on sensor i nput
the PCM determi nes engi ne speed and crankshaft
angl e (posi ti on).
The notches generate pul ses from hi gh to l ow i n
the crankshaft posi ti on sensor output vol tage. When
a metal porti on of the counterwei ght al i gns wi th the
crankshaft posi ti on sensor, the sensor output vol tage
goes l ow (l ess than 0.3 vol ts). When a notch al i gns
wi th the sensor, vol tage swi tches hi gh (5.0 vol ts). As
a group of notches pass under the sensor, the output
vol tage swi tches from l ow (metal ) to hi gh (notch)
then back to l ow.
I f avai l abl e, an osci l l oscope can di spl ay the square
wave patterns of each vol tage pul se. From the wi dth
of the output vol tage pul ses, the PCM cal cul ates
engi ne speed. The wi dth of the pul ses represent the
amount of ti me the output vol tage stays hi gh before
swi tchi ng back to l ow. The peri od of ti me the sensor
output vol tage stays hi gh before swi tchi ng back to
l ow i s referred to as pul se wi dth. The faster the

engi ne i s operati ng, the smal l er the pul se wi dth on
the osci l l oscope.
By counti ng the pul ses and referenci ng the pul se
from the 60 degree si gnature notch, the PCM cal cu-
l ates crankshaft angl e (posi ti on). I n each group of
ti mi ng reference notches, the fi rst notch represents
69 degrees before top dead center (BTDC). The sec-
ond notch represents 49 degrees BTDC. The thi rd
notch represents 29 degrees. The l ast notch i n each
set represents 9 degrees before top dead center
(TDC).
The ti mi ng reference notches are machi ned to a
uni form wi dth representi ng 13.6 degrees of crank-
shaft rotati on. From the vol tage pul se wi dth the
PCM tel l s the di fference between the ti mi ng refer-
ence notches and the 60 degree si gnature notch. The
60 degree si gnature notch produces a l onger pul se
wi dth than the smal l er ti mi ng reference notches. I f
the camshaft posi ti on sensor i nput swi tches from
hi gh to l ow when the 60 degree si gnature notch
passes under the crankshaft posi ti on sensor, the
PCM knows cyl i nder number one i s the next cyl i nder
at TDC.
The crankshaft posi ti on sensor mounts to the
engi ne bl ock behi nd the generator, near the oi l fi l ter
(Fi g. 8).
CAMSHAFT POSITION SENSOR
The PCM determi nes fuel i njecti on synchroni zati on
and cyl i nder i denti fi cati on from i nputs provi ded by
the camshaft posi ti on sensor and crankshaft posi ti on
sensor. From the two i nputs, the PCM determi nes
crankshaft posi ti on.
The camshaft posi ti on sensor attaches to the rear
of the cyl i nder head (Fi g. 2). A target magnet
attaches to the rear of the camshaft and i ndexes to
the correct posi ti on (Fi g. 3). The target magnet has
four di fferent pol es arranged i n an asymmetri cal pat-
tern. As the target magnet rotates, the camshaft
posi ti on sensor senses the change i n pol ari ty (Fi g. 4).
The sensor output swi tch swi tches from hi gh (5.0
vol ts) to l ow (0.30 vol ts) as the target magnet rotates.
When the north pol e of the target magnet passes
under the sensor, the output swi tches hi gh. The sen-
sor output swi tches l ow when the south pol e of the
target magnet passes underneath.
INTAKE AIR TEMPERATURE SENSOR2. 4L
The i ntake ai r temperature sensor measures the
temperature of the ai r as i t enters the engi ne. The
sensor suppl i es one of the i nputs the PCM uses to
determi ne i njector pul se wi dth and spark advance.

DESCRIPTION AND OPERATION
FIRING ORDER3. 0L
MANIFOLD ABSOLUTE PRESSURE (MAP) SENSOR
The MAP sensor reacts to absol ute pressure i n the
i ntake mani fol d and provi des an i nput vol tage to the
Powertrai n Control Modul e (PCM). As engi ne l oad
changes, mani fol d pressure vari es. The changes i n
engi ne l oad cause the MAP sensors resi stance to
change. The change i n MAP sensor resi stance resul ts
i n a di fferent i nput vol tage to the PCM.
The i nput vol tage l evel suppl i es the PCM wi th
i nformati on rel ati ng to ambi ent barometri c pressure
duri ng engi ne start-up (cranki ng) and engi ne l oad
whi l e i ts operati ng. Based on MAP sensor vol tage
and i nputs from other sensors, the PCM adjusts
spark advance and the ai r-fuel mi xture.
CAMSHAFT POSITION SENSOR
The PCM determi nes fuel i njecti on synchroni zati on
and cyl i nder i denti fi cati on from i nputs provi ded by
the camshaft posi ti on sensor and crankshaft posi ti on
sensor. From the two i nputs, the PCM determi nes
crankshaft posi ti on.
The 3.0L engi ne i s equi pped wi th a camshaft
dri ven mechani cal di stri butor, contai ni ng a shaft
dri ven di stri butor rotor. The di stri butor i s al so
equi pped wi th an i nternal camshaft posi ti on (fuel
sync) sensor (Fi g. 1). Thi s sensor provi des fuel i njec-
ti on synchroni zati on and cyl i nder i denti fi cati on to
the PCM.
The camshaft posi ti on sensor contai ns a hal l effect
devi ce cal l l ed a sync si gnal generator. Thi s sync si g-
nal generator detects a rotati ng pul se ri ng (shutter)
on the di stri butor shaft. The pul se ri ng rotates 180
through the sync si gnal generator. I ts si gnal i s used
i n conjuncti on wi th the crankshaft posi ti on sensor to
di fferenti ate between fuel i njecti on and spark events.
I t i s al so used to synchroni ze the fuel i njectors wi th
thei r respecti ve cyl i nders.
When the l eadi ng edge of the shutter enters the
sync si gnal generator, the i nterrupti on of magneti c
fi el d causes the vol tage to swi tch hi gh. Thi s causes a
sync si gnal of approxi matel y 5 vol ts.
When the trai l i ng edge of the shutter l eaves the
sync si gnal generator, the change of magneti c fi el d
causes the sync si gnal vol tage to swi tch l ow to 0
vol ts.
Si nce the shutter rotates at hal f crankshaft speed,
i t may take 1 engi ne revol uti on duri ng cranki ng for
the PCM to determi ne the posi ti on of pi ston number

1. Internal cluster failure. 1. (a) Perform cluster self diagnostic test and check for
fault codes.
If speedometer pointer moves to calibration points
during test and fault codes 110 or 111 dont appear in
the odometer display then failure is not in the cluster.
Look for another possible cause of failure.
If the pointer doesnt move during test, go to Step
(b).
If fault code 110 is displayed in the odometer, go to
Step (b).
If fault code 111 is displayed in the odometer then go
to Step (f).
If fault codes 905, 920, or 940 are displayed in the
odometer display refer to the fault code chart to identify
which module is causing the fault and repair module.
(b) Replace main cluster pc board. Go to Step (c).
(c) Connect cluster into instrument panel wiring
harness. Place it back into the proper position in the
instrument panel. Put in the top two mounting screws to
hold the cluster in place. DO NOT COMPLETELY
INSTALL CLUSTER TO INSTRUMENT PANEL UNTIL
UNIT IS CALIBRATED AND TESTED. Go to Step (d).
(d) Use a scan tool to calibrate cluster and perform Self
Diagnostic Test. If OK, complete installation. If not OK,
go to Step (e).
(e) Replace subdial assembly and use a scan tool to
calibrate cluster. If not OK, look at another possible
cause for the speedometer failure.

INTRODUCTION
Operati ng i nstructi ons for the factory i nstal l ed
audi o systems can be found i n the Owners Manual
provi ded wi th the vehi cl e.
NS vehi cl es are equi pped wi th an I gni ti on Off
Draw (I OD) fuse i n the power di stri buti on center
l ocated i n the engi ne compartment. After the I OD
fuse or battery has been di sconnected, the radi o sta-
ti on sets and cl ock wi l l requi re resetti ng.
DESCRIPTION AND OPERATION
ANTENNA
Al l model s use a fi xed-l ength stai nl ess steel rod-
type antenna mast, i nstal l ed at the ri ght front fender
of the vehi cl e. The antenna mast i s connected to the
center wi re of the coaxi al antenna cabl e, and i s not
grounded to any part of the vehi cl e.
To el i mi nate stati c, the antenna base must have a
good ground. The coaxi al antenna cabl e shi el d (the
outer wi re mesh of the cabl e) i s grounded to the
antenna base and the radi o chassi s.
The antenna coaxi al cabl e has an addi ti onal di s-
connect, l ocated near the ri ght end of the i nstrument
panel . Thi s addi ti onal di sconnect al l ows the i nstru-
ment panel assembl y to be removed and i nstal l ed
wi thout removi ng the radi o.
The factory-i nstal l ed El ectroni cal l y Tuned Radi os
(ETRs) automati cal l y compensate for radi o antenna
tri m. Therefore, no antenna tri mmer adjustment i s
requi red or possi bl e when repl aci ng the recei ver or
the antenna.
INTERFERENCE ELIMINATION
Some components used on the vehi cl es are
equi pped wi th a capaci tor to suppress radi o fre-
quency i nterference/stati c.
Capaci tors are mounted i n vari ous l ocati ons i nter-
nal to the generator, i nstrument cl uster and wi nd-
shi el d wi per motor.
To el i mi nate radi o i nterference, ground straps are
used i n di fferent areas of the vehi cl e. These ground
ci rcui ts shoul d be securel y ti ghtened to assure good
metal to metal contact. The ground straps conduct
very smal l hi gh frequency el ectri cal si gnal s to ground
and requi re cl ean surface contact area. The radi o
ground i s suppl i ed from the i nstrument panel har-
ness and i s attached to the rear of the radi o. Some
engi nes have other ground straps to el i mi nate fur-
ther radi o i nterference:

The fol l owi ng four tests are used to di agnose the
antenna wi th an ohmmeter:
Test 1 - Mast to ground test
Test 2 - Ti p-of-mast to ti p-of-conductor test
Test 3 - Body ground to battery ground test
Test 4 - Body ground to coaxi al shi el d test.
The ohmmeter test l ead connecti ons for each test
are shown i n Antenna Tests (Fi g. 7).
NOTE: This model has a two-piece antenna coaxial
cable. Tests 2 and 4 must be conducted in two
steps to isolate a coaxial cable problem; from the
coaxial cable connection under the right end of the
instrument panel near the right cowl side panel to
the antenna base, and then from the coaxial cable
connection to the radio chassis connection.
TEST 1
Test 1 determi nes i f the antenna mast i s i nsul ated
from the base. Proceed as fol l ows:
(1) Unpl ug the antenna coaxi al cabl e connector
from the radi o chassi s and i sol ate.
(2) Connect one ohmmeter test l ead to the ti p of
the antenna mast. Connect the other test l ead to the
antenna base. Check for conti nui ty.
(3) There shoul d be no conti nui ty. I f conti nui ty i s
found, repl ace the faul ty or damaged antenna base

GENERAL INFORMATION
INTRODUCTION
The speed control system i s el ectroni cal l y con-
trol l ed and vacuum operated. The el ectroni c control
i s i ntegrated i nto the powertrai n control modul e,
l ocated next to battery. The control s are l ocated on
the steeri ng wheel and consi st of the ON/OFF, SET,
RESUME/ACCEL, CANCEL and DECEL buttons
(Fi g. 1).
DESCRIPTION AND OPERATION
SPEED CONTROL SERVO
The servo uni t consi sts of a sol enoi d val ve body,
and a vacuum chamber. The PCM control s the sol e-
noi d val ve body. The sol enoi d val ve body control s the
appl i cati on and rel ease of vacuum to the di aphragm
of the vacuum servo. The servo uni t cannot be
repai red and i s servi ced onl y as a compl ete assembl y.
SPEED CONTROL SWITCHES
There are two separate swi tch pods that operate
the speed control system. The steeri ng-wheel -
mounted swi tches use mul ti pl exed ci rcui ts to provi de
i nputs to the PCM for ON, OFF, RESUME, ACCEL-
ERATE, SET, DECEL and CANCEL modes. Refer to
the owners manual for more i nformati on on speed
control swi tch functi ons and setti ng procedures.
When speed control i s sel ected by depressi ng the
ON swi tch, the PCM al l ows a set speed to be stored
i n RAM for speed control . To store a set speed,
depress the SET swi tch whi l e the vehi cl e i s movi ng
at a speed between 30 and 85 mph. I n order for the
speed control to engage, the brakes cannot be
appl i ed, nor can the gear sel ector be i ndi cati ng the
transmi ssi on i s i n Park or Neutral .
The speed control can be di sengaged manual l y by:
Steppi ng on the brake pedal

NS VEHICLE SPEED CONTROL SYSTEM 8H - 1
Depressi ng the OFF swi tch
Depressi ng the CANCEL swi tch.
NOTE: Depressing the OFF switch or turning off
the ignition switch will erase the set speed stored
in the PCM.
For added safety,the speed control system i s pro-
grammed to di sengaged for any of the fol l owi ng con-
di ti ons:
An i ndi cati on of Park or Neutral
An rpm i ncrease wi thout a VSS si gnal i ncrease
(i ndi cates that the cl utch has been di sengaged)
Excessi ve engi ne rpm (i ndi cates that the trans-
mi ssi on may be i n a l ow gear)
The VSS si gnal i ncreases at a rate of 10 mph
per second (i ndi cates that the co-effi ci ent of fri cti on
between the road surface and ti res i s extremel y l ow)
The VSS si gnal decreases at a rate of 10 mph
per second (i ndi cates that the vehi cl e may have
decel erated at an extremel y hi gh rate)
I f the actual speed i s not wi thi n 20 mph of the
set speed
The previ ous di sengagement condi ti ons are pro-
grammed for added safety.
Once the speed control has been di sengaged,
depressi ng the ACCEL swi tch when speed i s greater
than 25 mph restores the vehi cl e to the target speed
that was stored i n the PCM.
NOTE: Depressing the OFF switch will erase the
set speed stored in the PCMs RAM.
Whi l e the speed control i s engaged, the dri ver can
i ncrease the vehi cl e speed by depressi ng the ACCEL
swi tch. The new target speed i s stored i n the PCM
when the ACCEL i s rel eased. The PCM al so has a
tap-up feature i n whi ch vehi cl e speed i ncreases at a
rate of approxi matel y 2 mph for each momentary
swi tch acti vati on of the ACCEL swi tch. The PCM
al so provi des a means to decel erate wi thout di sen-
gagi ng speed control . To decel erate from an exi sti ng
recorded target speed, depress and hol d the COAST
swi tch unti l the desi red speed i s reached, then
rel ease the swi tch.
The i ndi vi dual swi tches cannot be repai red. I f one
swi tch fai l s, the enti re swi tch modul e must be
repl aced.
AUTOMATIC SPEED CONTROL OVERSPEED
REDUCTION
Transmi ssi on control software i ncl udes an auto-
mati c speed control overspeed reducti on feature. Thi s
mai ntai ns vehi cl e speed at the sel ected set poi nt
when descendi ng a grade.
The Transmi ssi on Control Modul e (TCM) fi rst
senses that the speed control i s set. I f the set speed
i s exceeded by more than 4 mph (6.5 km/hr) and the
throttl e i s cl osed, the TCM causes the transaxl e to
downshi ft to THI RD gear. After downshi fti ng, the
automati c speed control resumes normal operati on.
To ensure that an upshi ft i s appropri ate after the set
speed i s reached, the TCM wai ts unti l the speed con-
trol system opens the throttl e at l east 8 degrees
before upshi fti ng to OVERDRI VE agai n.
I f the dri ver appl i es the brakes, cancel i ng auto-
mati c speed control operati on wi th the transaxl e sti l l
i n THI RD gear, the TCM mai ntai ns thi s gear unti l
the dri ver opens the throttl e at l east 8 degrees to
avoi d an i nappropri ate upshi ft. The upshi ft i s al so
del ayed for 0.5 seconds after reachi ng the 8 degrees
throttl e openi ng i n anti ci pati on that the dri ver mi ght
open the throttl e enough to requi re THI RD gear.
Thi s wi l l avoi d unnecessary and di sturbi ng transmi s-
si on cycl i ng. I f the automati c speed control RESUME
feature i s used after braki ng, the upshi ft i s del ayed
unti l the set speed i s achi eved to reduce cycl i ng and
provi de better response.
STOP LAMP SWITCH
Vehi cl es equi pped wi th the speed control opti on use
a dual functi on stop l amp swi tch. The swi tch i s
mounted on the brake pedal mounti ng bracket under
the i nstrument panel . The PCM moni tors the state of
the dual functi on stop l amp swi tch. Refer to Group 5,
Brakes for more i nformati on on stop l amp swi tch ser-
vi ce and adjustment procedures.
SERVO CABLE
The speed control servo cabl e i s connected between
the speed control vacuum servo di aphragm and the
throttl e body control l i nkage. Thi s cabl e causes the
throttl e control l i nkage to open or cl ose the throttl e
val ve i n response to movement of the vacuum servo
di aphragm.
POWERTRAIN CONTROL MODULE
The speed control el ectroni c control ci rcui try i s
i ntegrated i nto the Powertrai n Control Modul e
(PCM). The PCM i s l ocated i n the engi ne compart-
ment. The PCM speed control functi ons are moni -
tored by the On-Board Di agnosti cs (OBD). Al l OBD-
sensed systems are moni tored by the PCM. Each
moni tored ci rcui t i s assi gned a Di agnosti c Troubl e
Code (DTC). The PCM wi l l store a DTC i n el ectroni c
memory for any fai l ure i t detects. See On-Board
Di agnosti c Tests i n thi s group for more i nformati on.
The PCM cannot be repai red and must be repl aced i f

VEHICLE SPEED AND DISTANCE
The 4 speed automati c Transmi ssi on Control Mod-
ul e (TCM) suppl i es the speed i nput to the PCM. The
PCM determi nes accel erati on rates. The speed con-
trol software i n the PCM uses vehi cl e speed and
accel erati on to control to the set speed.
Vehi cl es wi th a 3 speed automati c or manual trans-
mi ssi on have a vehi cl e speed sensor (VSS) mounted
to an adapter near the transmi ssi on output shaft.
The sensor i s dri ven through the adapter by a speed-
ometer pi ni on gear. The VSS pul se si gnal i s moni -
tored by the PCM to determi ne vehi cl e speed and to

CONTROL SET
I f the operator repeatedl y presses and rel eases the
set button wi th thei r foot off of the accel erator (a l i ft
foot set to begi n speed control operati on), the vehi cl e
may accel erate and exceed the desi red set speed by
up to 5 MPH (8 km/h) and then decel erate to l ess
than the desi red set speed before fi nal l y achi evi ng
the desi red set speed.
The Speed Control has an adapti ve strategy that
compensates for vehi cl e-to-vehi cl e vari ati ons i n speed
control cabl e l engths. When the speed control i s set
wi th the vehi cl e operators foot off of the accel erator
pedal , the speed control thi nks there i s excessi ve
speed control cabl e sl ack and adapts. I f the l i ft foot

WARNING: THIS SYSTEM IS A SENSITIVE, COM-
PLEX ELECTROMECHANICAL UNIT. DISCONNECT
AND ISOLATE THE BATTERY NEGATIVE CABLE
BEFORE BEGINNING AIRBAG SYSTEM COMPO-
NENT REMOVAL OR INSTALLATION PROCEDURES.
THIS WILL DISABLE THE AIRBAG SYSTEM. FAIL-
URE TO DISCONNECT THE BATTERY COULD
RESULT IN ACCIDENTAL AIRBAG DEPLOYMENT
AND POSSIBLE PERSONAL INJURY.
ALLOW SYSTEM CAPACITOR TO DISCHARGE
FOR TWO MINUTES BEFORE REMOVING AIRBAG
COMPONENTS.
DO NOT PLACE AN INTACT UNDEPLOYED AIR-
BAG FACE DOWN ON A SOLID SURFACE, THE AIR-
BAG WILL PROPEL INTO THE AIR IF
ACCIDENTALLY DEPLOYED AND COULD RESULT
IN PERSONAL INJURY. WHEN CARRYING OR HAN-
DLING AN UNDEPLOYED AIRBAG MODULE, THE
TRIM SIDE OF THE AIRBAG SHOULD BE POINTING
AWAY FROM THE BODY TO MINIMIZE POSSIBILITY
OF INJURY IF ACCIDENTAL DEPLOYMENT
OCCURS.
REPLACE AIRBAG SYSTEM COMPONENTS WITH
MOPAR REPLACEMENT PARTS. SUBSTITUTE
PARTS MAY APPEAR INTERCHANGEABLE, BUT
INTERNAL DIFFERENCES MAY RESULT IN INFE-
RIOR OCCUPANT PROTECTION.
WEAR SAFETY GLASSES, RUBBER GLOVES,
AND LONG SLEEVED CLOTHING WHEN CLEANING
POWDER RESIDUE FROM VEHICLE AFTER AIRBAG
DEPLOYMENT. SODIUM HYDROXIDE POWDER
RESIDUE EMITTED FROM A DEPLOYED AIRBAG
CAN CAUSE SKIN IRRITATION. FLUSH AFFECTED
AREA WITH COOL WATER IF IRRITATION IS EXPE-
RIENCED. IF NASAL OR THROAT IRRITATION IS
EXPERIENCED, EXIT THE VEHICLE FOR FRESH AIR
UNTIL THE IRRITATION CEASES. IF IRRITATION
CONTINUES, SEE A PHYSICIAN.
DO NOT USE A REPLACEMENT AIRBAG THAT IS
NOT IN THE ORIGINAL PACKAGING, IMPROPER
DEPLOYMENT AND PERSONAL INJURY CAN
RESULT.
THE FACTORY INSTALLED FASTENERS,
SCREWS AND BOLTS USED TO FASTEN AIRBAG
COMPONENTS HAVE A SPECIAL COATING AND
ARE SPECIFICALLY DESIGNED FOR THE AIRBAG
SYSTEM. DO NOT USE SUBSTITUTE FASTENERS,
USE ONLY ORIGINAL EQUIPMENT FASTENERS
LISTED IN THE PARTS CATALOG WHEN FASTENER
REPLACEMENT IS REQUIRED.
NOTE: Airbags should be stored in a cool dry loca-
tion away from excessive heat and static electrical
activity with the fabric airbag facing UP, or a prema-
ture deployment can result.
If the Driver/Passenger Airbag Module is defective
and not deployed, refer to Chrysler Corporation cur-
rent return list for proper handling procedures.
DESCRIPTION AND OPERATION
AIRBAG CONTROL MODULE (ACM)
The Ai rbag Control Modul e (ACM) contai ns the

sor i s used. I t i s l ocated i nsi de the Ai rbag Control
Modul e (ACM) whi ch i s mounted on a bracket, just
forward of the center consol e. The i mpact sensor i s
an accel erometer that senses decel erati on. The decel -
erati on pul ses are sent to a mi croprocessor whi ch
contai ns a deci si on al gori thm. When an i mpact i s
severe enough to requi re ai rbag protecti on, the ACM
mi cro processor sends a si gnal that compl etes the

SMART KEY IMMOBILIZER SYSTEM
The Smart Key I mmobi l i zer System (SKI S) i s
desi gned to provi de passi ve protecti on agai nst unau-
thori zed vehi cl e use by preventi ng the engi ne from
operati ng whi l e the system i s armed. The pri mary
components of thi s system are the Smart Key I mmo-

the SKI S i ndi cator l amp, and the Powertrai n Control
Modul e (PCM), for gasol i ne engi nes, and the Body
Control Modul e (BCM) for di esel engi nes.
The SKI M i s i nstal l ed on the steeri ng col umn near
the i gni ti on l ock cyl i nder. The transponder i s l ocated
under the mol ded rubber cap on the head of the i gni -
ti on key. The SKI S i ndi cator l amp i s l ocated i n the
i nstrument cl uster.
The SKI S i ncl udes two val i d Smart Key transpon-

DESCRIPTION AND OPERATION
SMART KEY IMMOBILIZER MODULE
The Smart Key I mmobi l i zer Modul e (SKI M) con-
tai ns a Radi o Frequency (RF) transcei ver and a cen-
tral processi ng uni t, whi ch i ncl udes the Smart Key
I mmobi l i zer System (SKI S) program l ogi c. The SKI S
programmi ng enabl es the SKI M to program and
retai n i n memory the codes of at l east two, but no
more than ei ght el ectroni cal l y coded Smart Key tran-
sponders. The SKI S programmi ng al so enabl es the
SKI M to communi cate over the Chrysl er Col l i si on
Detecti on (CCD) data bus network wi th the Power-
trai n Control Modul e (PCM), the i nstrument cl uster
and/or the DRB scan tool .
The SKI M transmi ts and recei ves RF si gnal s
through a tuned antenna encl osed wi thi n a mol ded
pl asti c ri ng formati on that i s i ntegral to the SKI M
housi ng. When the SKI M i s properl y i nstal l ed on the
steeri ng col umn, the antenna ri ng i s ori ented around
the ci rcumference of the i gni ti on l ock cyl i nder hous-
i ng. Thi s antenna ri ng must be l ocated wi thi n ei ght
mi l l i meters (0.31 i nches) of the Smart Key i n order
to ensure proper RF communi cati on between the
SKI M and the Smart Key transponder.
For added system securi ty, each SKI M i s pro-
grammed wi th a uni que Secret Key code and a
securi ty code. The SKI M keeps the Secret Key code
i n memory and sends the code over the CCD data
bus to the PCM, whi ch al so keeps thi s code i n i ts
memory. The SKI M al so sends the Secret Key code
to each of the programmed Smart Key transponders.
The securi ty code i s used by the assembl y pl ant to
NS/GS VEHICLE THEFT/SECURITY SYSTEMS 8Q - 1
access the SKI S for i ni ti al i zati on, or by the deal er
techni ci an to access the system for servi ce. The
SKI M al so stores i n i ts memory the Vehi cl e I denti fi -
cati on Number (VI N), whi ch i t l earns through a CCD
data bus message from the PCM duri ng i ni ti al i za-
ti on.
The SKI M and the PCM both use software that
i ncl udes a rol l i ng code al gori thm strategy, whi ch
hel ps to reduce the possi bi l i ty of unauthori zed SKI S
di sarmi ng. The rol l i ng code al gori thm ensures secu-
ri ty by preventi ng an overri de of the SKI S through
the unauthori zed substi tuti on of the SKI M or the
PCM. However, the use of thi s strategy al so means
that repl acement of ei ther the SKI M or the PCM
uni ts wi l l requi re a system i ni ti al i zati on procedure to
restore system operati on.
When the i gni ti on swi tch i s turned to the On or
Start posi ti ons, the SKI M transmi ts an RF si gnal to
exci te the Smart Key transponder. The SKI M then
l i stens for a return RF si gnal from the transponder
of the Smart Key that i s i nserted i n the i gni ti on l ock
cyl i nder. I f the SKI M recei ves an RF si gnal wi th
val i d Secret Key and transponder i denti fi cati on
codes, the SKI M sends a val i d key message to the
PCM over the CCD data bus. I f the SKI M recei ves
an i nval i d RF si gnal or no response, i t sends i nval i d
key messages to the PCM. The PCM wi l l enabl e or
di sabl e engi ne operati on based upon the status of the
SKI M messages.
The SKI M al so sends messages to the i nstrument
cl uster over the CCD data bus network to control the
SKI S i ndi cator l amp. The SKI M sends messages to
the i nstrument cl uster to turn the l amp on for about
three seconds when the i gni ti on swi tch i s turned to
the On posi ti on as a bul b test. After compl eti on of
the bul b test, the SKI M sends bus messages to keep
the l amp off for a durati on of about one second. Then
the SKI M sends messages to turn the l amp on or off
based upon the resul ts of the SKI S sel f-tests. I f the
SKI S i ndi cator l amp comes on and stays on after the
bul b test, i t i ndi cates that the SKI M has detected a
system mal functi on and/or that the SKI S has become
i noperati ve.
I f the SKI M detects an i nval i d key when the i gni -
ti on swi tch i s turned to the On posi ti on, i t sends
messages to the i nstrument cl uster to fl ash the SKI S
i ndi cator l amp. The SKI M can al so send messages to
the i nstrument cl uster to fl ash the l amp and to gen-
erate a si ngl e audi bl e chi me tone.
For di agnosi s or i ni ti al i zati on of the SKI M and the
PCM, a DRB scan tool and the proper Di agnosti c
Procedures manual are requi red. The SKI M cannot
be repai red and, i f faul ty or damaged, the uni t must
be repl aced.
SMART KEY IMMOBILIZER TRANSPONDER
The Smart Key I mmobi l i zer System (SKI S) uses a
transponder that i s i ntegral to each of the two i gni -
ti on keys that are suppl i ed wi th the vehi cl e when i t
i s shi pped from the factory. The transponder chi p i s
i nsul ated wi thi n a nyl on mount i nserted i n the head
of the key, and i nvi si bl e beneath a mol ded rubber cap
(Fi g. 1).
Each Smart Key transponder has a uni que tran-
sponder i denti fi cati on code programmed i nto i t by the
manufacturer. The Smart Key I mmobi l i zer Modul e
(SKI M) has a uni que Secret Key code programmed
i nto i t by the manufacturer. When a Smart Key tran-
sponder i s programmed i nto the memory of the
SKI M, the SKI M l earns the transponder i denti fi ca-
ti on code from the transponder, and the transponder
l earns the Secret Key code from the SKI M. Each of
these codes i s stored wi thi n the transponder and i n
the nonvol ati l e memory of the SKI M. Therefore,
bl ank keys for the SKI S must be programmed by and
i nto the SKI M, i n addi ti on to bei ng cut to match the
mechani cal codi ng of the i gni ti on l ock cyl i nder. See

THERMOMETER AND COMPASS
THERMOMETER
Engi ne temperature can i ncrease the di spl ayed
temperature. The CMTC i s desi gned to dampen tem-
perature readi ngs when the vehi cl e i s movi ng at a
rate sl ower than 18 mi l es per hour.
The outsi de temperature i s measured from a sen-
sor mounted i n the front of the vehi cl e. I f the tem-
perature i s more than 55C (131F) or the
temperature sendi ng l i ne i s shorted to ground, the
temperature di spl ay shoul d read SC. I f the tempera-
ture i s l ess than -40C (-40F), or the sendi ng l i ne i s
an open ci rcui t, the di spl ay shoul d read OC.
The CMTC wi l l not al l ow the temperature readi ng
to i ncrease when the vehi cl e i s not movi ng.
COMPASS
The CMTC i s sel f cal i brati ng and usual l y requi res
no adjustment. The compass wi l l conti nuousl y per-
form a sl ow cal i brati on to compensate for smal l mag-
neti c vari ati ons common to any automobi l e.
Uncommon magneti c shi fts may be caused by i tems
such as magneti c base antennas, whi ch can perma-
nentl y al ter the magneti c fi el d of the vehi cl e roof
panel . I f excessi ve magneti c fi el d conti nues for 5 mi n-
utes, the compass headi ng wi l l go bl ank and onl y the
CAL symbol wi l l i l l umi nate. When thi s occurs, the
vehi cl e roof panel may requi re demagneti zi ng. Refer
to the demagneti zi ng procedure i n thi s secti on.
Moderate magneti c shi fts may, on very rare occa-
si ons, cause the compass headi ng to di spl ay onl y one
or two of the ei ght possi bl e headi ngs. Al though the
compass wi l l eventual l y compensate for thi s shi ft, i t
coul d take several i gni ti on cycl es. The compensati on
process can be expedi ted by manual l y acti vati ng the
fast cal i brati on routi ne. Refer to the fast cal i brati ng
procedure i n thi s secti on. Thi s procedure may be per-
formed anyti me that the compass appears to be i nac-
curate.
I f the cal i brati on data stored i n the body control
modul e i s not recei ved, the compass wi l l read onl y
NE North-East. The CMTC i s sel f cal i brati ng and
requi res no adjusti ng. The word CAL i s di spl ayed to
show that the compass i s i n cal i brati on mode. CAL
wi l l turn off after the vehi cl e has gone through three
compl ete ci rcl es wi thout stoppi ng, i n an area free of
magneti c di sturbance. I f modul e di spl ays tempera-
ture whi l e the compass i s bl ank, turn off i gni ti on and
run sel f di agnosti cs then demagneti ze the vehi cl e.
After demagneti zi ng, check compass cal i brati on num-
ber, refer to Sel f Di agnosti c Test. I f greater than 15,
demagneti ze agai n unti l readi ng i s l ess than 15. I f
compass sti l l goes bl ank after demagneti zi ng then
check i nternal di agnosti cs and demagneti ze.

INTRODUCTION
Chrysl er wi ri ng di agrams are desi gned to provi de
i nformati on regardi ng the vehi cl es wi ri ng content. I n
order to effecti vel y use Chrysl er wi ri ng di agrams to
di agnose and repai r a Chrysl er vehi cl e, i t i s i mpor-
tant to understand al l of thei r features and charac-
teri sti cs.
Di agrams are arranged such that the power (B+)
si de of the ci rcui t i s pl aced near the top of the page,
and the ground (B-) si de of the ci rcui t i s pl aced near
the bottom of the page.
Al l swi tches, components, and modul es are shown
i n the at rest posi ti on wi th the doors cl osed and the
key removed from the i gni ti on.
Components are shown two ways. A sol i d l i ne
around a component i ndi cates that the component i s
compl ete. A dashed l i ne around a component i ndi -
cates that the component bei ng shown i s not com-
pl ete. I ncompl ete components have a reference
number to i ndi cate the page where the component i s
shown compl ete.
I t i s i mportant to real i ze that no attempt i s made
on the di agrams to represent components and wi ri ng
as they appear on the vehi cl e. For exampl e, a short
pi ece of wi re i s treated the same as a l ong one. I n
addi ti on, swi tches and other components are shown

Vol tmeter - Used to check for vol tage on a ci r-
cui t. Al ways connect the bl ack l ead to a known good
ground and the red l ead to the posi ti ve si de of the
ci rcui t.
CAUTION: Most of the electrical components used
in todays vehicle are solid state. When checking
voltages in these circuits use a meter with a 10-me-
gohm or greater impedance rating.
Ohmmeter - Used to check the resi stance
between two poi nts of a ci rcui t. Low or no resi stance
i n a ci rcui t means good conti nui ty.
CAUTION: - Most of the electrical components used
in todays vehicle are Solid State. When checking
resistance in these circuits use a meter with a 10-
megohm or greater impedance rating. In addition,
make sure the power is disconnected from the cir-
cuit. Circuits that are powered up by the vehicle
electrical system can cause damage to the equip-
ment and provide false readings.
Probi ng Tool s - These tool s are used for probi ng
termi nal s i n connectors (Fi g. 6). Sel ect the proper
si ze tool from Speci al Tool Package 6807, and i nsert
i t i nto the termi nal bei ng tested. Use the other end
of the tool to i nsert the meter probe.

GENERAL INFORMATION
FORM-IN-PLACE GASKETS
There are numerous pl aces where form-i n-pl ace
gaskets are used on the engi ne. Care must be taken
when appl yi ng form-i n-pl ace gaskets. Do not use
form-in-place gasket material unless specified.
Bead si ze, conti nui ty, and l ocati on are of great i mpor-
tance. Too thi n a bead can resul t i n l eakage whi l e too
much can resul t i n spi l l -over, a conti nuous bead of
the proper wi dth i s essenti al to obtai n a l eak-free
joi nt.
Two types of form-i n-pl ace gasket materi al s are
used i n the engi ne. Mopar Si l i cone Rubber Adhe-
si ve Seal ant and Mopar Gasket Maker, (anaerobi c)
each have di fferent properti es and cannot be used
i nterchangeabl y.
CAUTION: Silicone sealer and anaerobic sealers
each will inhibit the cure of the other and care
should be taken to keep usages separated as much
as possible.
MOPAR SILICONE RUBBER ADHESIVE
SEALANT
Mopar Si l i cone Rubber Adhesi ve Seal ant or
equi val ent, normal l y bl ack i n col or, i s avai l abl e i n
three ounce tubes. Moi sture i n the ai r causes the
Mopar Si l i cone Rubber Adhesi ve Seal ant materi al
to cure. Thi s materi al i s normal l y used on fl exi bl e
metal fl anges. I t has a shel f l i fe of one year and wi l l
not properl y cure i f over age. Al ways i nspect the
package for the expi rati on date before use.
MOPAR GASKET MAKER
Mopar Gasket Maker i s an anaerobi c type gasket
materi al normal l y red i n col or. The materi al cures i n
the absence of ai r when squeezed between two metal -
l i c surfaces. I t wi l l not cure i f l eft i n the uncovered
tube. I t i s normal l y red i n col or. The anaerobi c mate-
ri al i s for use between two machi ned surfaces. Do not
use on fl exi bl e metal fl anges.
MOPAR TORQUE CURE GASKET MAKER
Mopar Torque Cure Gasket Maker i s a uni que
anaerobi c type gasket materi al to be used ONLY
between the bedpl ate and engi ne bl ock. The materi al
cures i n the absence of ai r when torqued between
two metal l i c surfaces. I t wi l l not cure i f l eft i n the
uncovered tube. Thi s anaerobi c materi al i s speci al l y
NS ENGINE 9 - 1
made to seal the area between the bedpl ate and cyl -
i nder bl ock wi thout di sturbi ng the beari ng cl earance
or al i gnment of these components.
GASKET DISASSEMBLY
Parts assembl ed wi th form-i n-pl ace gaskets may be
di sassembl ed wi thout unusual effort. I n some
i nstances, i t may be necessary to l i ghtl y tap the part
wi th a mal l et or other sui tabl e tool to break the seal
between the mati ng surfaces. A fl at gasket scraper
may al so be l i ghtl y tapped i nto the joi nt but care
must be taken not to damage the mati ng surfaces.
SURFACE PREPARATION
Scrape cl ean or wi re brush al l gasket surfaces to
remove al l l oose materi al . I nspect stamped parts to
ensure gasket rai l s are fl at. Gasket surfaces must be
free of oi l and di rt. Make sure ol d gasket materi al i s
removed from bl i nd attachi ng hol es.
FORM-IN-PLACE GASKET APPLICATION
Assembl i ng parts usi ng a form-i n-pl ace gasket
requi res care but i ts easi er then usi ng precut gas-
kets.
Mopar Gasket Maker materi al shoul d be appl i ed
spari ngl y 1 mm (0.040 i n.) di ameter or l ess of seal ant
to one gasket surface. Be certai n the materi al sur-
rounds each mounti ng hol e. Excess materi al can eas-
i l y be wi ped off. Components shoul d be torqued i n
pl ace wi thi n 15 mi nutes. The use of a l ocati ng dowel
i s recommended duri ng assembl y to prevent smear-
i ng the materi al off l ocati on.
The Mopar Si l i cone Rubber Adhesi ve Seal ant
gasket materi al or equi val ent shoul d be appl i ed i n a
conti nuous bead approxi matel y 3 mm (0.120 i n.) i n
di ameter. Al l mounti ng hol es must be ci rcl ed. For
corner seal i ng, a 3.17 or 6.35 mm (1/8 or 1/4 i n.) drop
i s pl aced i n the center of the gasket contact area.
Uncured seal ant may be removed wi th a shop towel s.
Components shoul d be torqued i n pl ace whi l e the
seal ant i s sti l l wet to the touch (wi thi n 10 mi nutes).
The usage of a l ocati ng dowel i s recommended duri ng
assembl y to prevent smeari ng of materi al off l oca-
ti on.
CRANKSHAFT SPROCKET BOLT ACCESS PLUG
An Access pl ug i s l ocated i n the ri ght i nner fender
shi el d. Remove the pl ug and i nsert the proper si ze
socket, extensi on and ratchet, when crankshaft rota-
ti on i s necessary.
ENGINE CORE PLUGS
REMOVAL
Usi ng a bl unt tool such as a dri ft or a screwdri ver
and a hammer, stri ke the bottom edge of the cup
pl ug (Fi g. 1). Wi th the cup pl ug rotated, grasp fi rml y
wi th pl i ers or other sui tabl e tool and remove pl ug
(Fi g. 1).
CAUTION: Do not drive cup plug into the casting
as restricted cooling can result and cause serious
engine problems.
INSTALLATION
Thoroughl y remove al l rust and cl ean i nsi de of cup
pl ug hol e i n cyl i nder bl ock or head. Be sure to
remove ol d seal er. Li ghtl y coat i nsi de of cup pl ug hol e

When hone marks intersect at 50-60 degrees, the
cross hatch angl e i s most sati sfactory for proper seat-
i ng of ri ngs (Fi g. 2).
(4) A control l ed hone motor speed between
200-300 RPM i s necessary to obtai n the proper cross-
hatch angl e. The number of up and down strokes per
mi nute can be regul ated to get the desi red 50-60
degree angl e. Faster up and down strokes i ncrease

MEASURING MAIN BEARING AND CONNECTING
ROD BEARING CLEARANCES
PLASTIGAGE METHOD
Engi ne crankshaft beari ng cl earances can be deter-
mi ned by use of Pl asti gage or equi val ent. The fol l ow-
i ng i s the recommended procedure for the use of
Pl asti gage:
NOTE: The total clearance of the main bearings
can only be determined by removing the weight of
the crankshaft. This can be accomplished by either
of two methods:
PREFERRED METHOD
Shi mmi ng the beari ngs adjacent to the beari ng to
be checked i n order to remove the cl earance between
upper beari ng shel l and the crankshaft. Thi s can be
accompl i shed by pl aci ng a mi ni mum of 0.254 mm
(0.010 i n.) shi m (e. g. cardboard, matchbook cover,
etc.) between the beari ng shel l and the beari ng cap
on the adjacent beari ngs and ti ghteni ng bol ts to
14-20 Nm (10-15 ft. l bs.). The number of mai n bear-
i ng wi l l vary from engi ne to engi ne.

PLASTIGAGE PROCEDURE
(1) Remove oi l fi l m from surface to be checked.
Pl asti gage i s sol ubl e i n oi l .
(2) Pl ace a pi ece of Pl asti gage across the enti re
wi dth of the beari ng shel l i n the cap approxi matel y
6.35 mm (1/4 i n.) off center and away from the oi l
hol es (Fi g. 3). (I n addi ti on, suspected areas can be
checked by pl aci ng the Pl asti gage i n the suspected
area). Torque the beari ng cap bol ts of the beari ng
bei ng checked to the proper speci fi cati ons.
(3) Remove the beari ng cap and compare the
wi dth of the fl attened Pl asti gage (Fi g. 4) wi th the
metri c scal e provi ded on the package. Locate the
band cl osest to the same wi dth. Thi s band shows the
amount of cl earance i n thousandths of a mi l l i meter.
Di fferences i n readi ngs between the ends i ndi cate the
amount of taper present. Record al l readi ngs taken.
Refer to Engi ne Speci fi cati ons. Plastigage gener-
ally is accompanied by two scales. One scale is
in inches, the other is a metric scale.
NOTE: Plastigage is available in a variety of clear-
ance ranges. Use the most appropriate range for
the specifications you are checking.
CONNECTING ROD BEARING CLEARANCE
Engi ne connecti ng rod beari ng cl earances can be
determi ned by use of Pl asti gage or equi val ent. The
fol l owi ng i s the recommended procedure for the use
of Pl asti gage:
(1) Rotate the crankshaft unti l the connecti ng rod
to be checked i s at the bottom of i ts stroke.
(2) Remove oi l fi l m from surface to be checked.
Pl asti gage i s sol ubl e i n oi l .
(3) Pl ace a pi ece of Pl asti gage across the enti re
wi dth of the beari ng shel l i n the beari ng cap approx-
i matel y 6.35 mm (1/4 i n.) off center and away from
the oi l hol e (Fi g. 3). I n addi ti on, suspect areas can be
checked by pl aci ng pl asti gage i n the suspect area.
(4) Assembl e the rod cap wi th Pl asti gage i n pl ace.
Ti ghten the rod cap to the speci fi ed torque. Do not
rotate the crankshaft while assembling the cap
or the Plastigage may be smeared, giving inac-
curate results.
(5) Remove the beari ng cap and compare the
wi dth of the fl attened Pl asti gage (Fi g. 4) wi th the
scal e provi ded on the package. Locate the band cl os-
est to the same wi dth. Thi s band i ndi cates the
amount of oi l cl earance. Di fferences i n readi ngs
between the ends i ndi cate the amount of taper
present. Record al l readi ngs taken. Refer to Engi ne
Speci fi cati ons. Plastigage generally is accompa-
nied by two scales. One scale is in inches, the
other is a metric scale. If the bearing clearance
exceeds 0.076 mm (0.003 in.) replace bearing.
NOTE: Plastigage is available in a variety of clear-
ance ranges. Use the most appropriate range for
the specifications you are checking.

PISTONS: Are al umi num al l oy wi th a steel strut,
short hei ght, and thi n wal l so as to be autothermi c
and l i ght wei ght. The pi ston head wi th val ve
recesses, i n combi nati on wi th the cyl i nder head,
forms a compact spheri cal head wi th cl earance for
total val ve l i ft wi th pi stons at top dead center. The
pi ston ski rt, top and second ri ng l ands are fi ni shed to
a tapered roughness for oi l retenti on and hi gh resi s-
tance to scuffi ng. Pi ston pi ns, pressed i nto pl ace, joi n
the pi stons to the connecti ng rods.
CYLINDER HEAD: The al l oy cyl i nder heads fea-
ture cross-fl ow type i ntake and exhaust ports. Val ve
gui des and i nserts are hardened cast i ron. Val ves of
heat resi stance steel are arranged i n a V wi th each
camshaft on center. To i mprove combusti on speed the
chambers are a compact spheri cal desi gn wi th a
squi sh area of approxi matel y 30 percent of the pi ston
top area. The cyl i nder heads are common to ei ther
cyl i nder bank by reversi ng the di recti on of i nstal l a-

CAMSHAFTS: Two overhead camshafts provi de
val ve actuati on, one front (radi ator si de of cyl i nder
bank) and one rear. The front camshaft i s provi ded
wi th a di stri butor dri ve and i s l onger. Both cam-
shafts are supported by four beari ng journal s, thrust

the rear at journal three. Front and rear camshaft
dri vi ng sprockets are i nterchangeabl e. The sprockets
and the engi ne water pump are dri ven by a si ngl e
notched ti mi ng bel t.
ROCKER ARM SHAFTS: The shafts are retai ned
by the camshaft beari ng journal caps. Four shafts are
used, one for each i ntake and exhaust rocker arm
assembl y on each cyl i nder head. The hol l ow shafts
provi de a duct for l ubri cati ng oi l fl ow from the cyl i n-
der head to the val ve mechani sms.
ROCKER ARMS: Are of l i ght wei ght di e-cast wi th

PRELIMINARY STEP TO CHECKING THE
HYDRAULIC TAPPETS
Before di sassembl i ng any part of the engi ne to cor-
rect tappet noi se, read the oi l pressure at the gauge.
I nstal l a rel i abl e gauge at pressure sendi ng uni t i f
vehi cl e has no oi l pressure gauge and check the oi l
l evel i n the oi l pan. The pressure shoul d be between
30 and 80 psi (206.8 to 551.6 kPa) at 2000 rpm.
The oi l l evel i n the pan shoul d never be above the
MAX mark on di psti ck, or bel ow the MI N mark.
Ei ther of these two condi ti ons coul d be responsi bl e
for noi sy tappets. Oil Level Check: stop engine
after reaching normal operating temperature.
Al l ow 5 mi nutes to stabi l i ze oi l l evel , check di psti ck.
OIL LEVEL TOO HIGH
I f oi l l evel i s above the MAX mark on di p sti ck, i t
i s possi bl e for the connecti ng rods to di p i nto the oi l
whi l e engi ne i s runni ng and create foam. Foam i n oi l
pan woul d be fed to the hydraul i c tappets by the oi l
pump causi ng them to become soft and al l ow val ves
to seat noi si l y.
OIL LEVEL TOO LOW
Low oi l l evel may al l ow pump to take i n ai r whi ch
when fed to the tappets, causes them to become soft
and al l ows val ves to seat noi si l y. Any l eaks on i ntake
si de of pump through whi ch ai r can be drawn wi l l
create the same tappet acti on. Check the l ubri cati on
system from the i ntake strai ner to the pump cover,
i ncl udi ng the rel i ef val ve retai ner cap. When tappet
noi se i s due to aerati on, i t may be i ntermi ttent or
constant, and usual l y more than one tappet wi l l be
noi sy. When oi l l evel and l eaks have been corrected,
engi ne shoul d be operated at fast i dl e to al l ow al l of
the ai r i nsi de of the tappets to be bl ed out.
VALVE TRAIN NOISE DIAGNOSIS
To determi ne source of val ve trai n noi se, operate
engi ne at i dl e wi th cyl i nder head covers removed and
l i sten for source of the noi se.

DIAGNOSIS AND TESTING (Continued)
NOTE: Worn valve guides or cocked springs are
sometimes mistaken for noisy tappets. If such is
the case, noise may be dampened by applying side
thrust on the valve spring. If noise is not apprecia-
bly reduced, it can be assumed the noise is in the
tappet. Inspect the rocker arm push rod sockets
and push rod ends for wear.
Val ve tappet noi se ranges from l i ght noi se to a
heavy cl i ck. A l i ght noi se i s usual l y caused by exces-
si ve l eak-down around the uni t pl unger whi ch wi l l
necessi tate repl aci ng the tappet, or by the pl unger
parti al l y sti cki ng i n the tappet body cyl i nder. A heavy
cl i ck i s caused ei ther by a tappet check val ve not
seati ng, or by forei gn parti cl es becomi ng wedged
between the pl unger and the tappet body causi ng the
pl unger to sti ck i n the down posi ti on. Thi s heavy
cl i ck wi l l be accompani ed by excessi ve cl earance
between the val ve stem and rocker arm as val ve
cl oses. I n ei ther case, tappet assembl y shoul d be
removed for i nspecti on and cl eani ng.
CHECKING ENGINE OIL PRESSURE
Check oi l pressure usi ng gauge at oi l pressure
swi tch l ocati on. Oi l pressure shoul d be 34.47 kPa (5
psi .) at i dl e or 205 to 551 kPa (30 to 80 psi .) at 3000
RPM.
(1) Remove pressure sendi ng uni t and i nstal l oi l
pressure gauge (Fi g. 5).
CAUTION: If oil pressure is 0 at idle, do not run
engine at 3000 RPM.
(2) Warm engi ne at hi gh i dl e unti l thermostat

has no oi l pressure gauge, i nstal l a rel i abl e gauge at
the pressure sendi ng uni t. The pressure shoul d be
between 3.5 bars to 5.0 bars at 4000 RPM.
Check the oi l l evel after the engi ne reaches normal
operati ng temperature. Al l ow 5 mi nutes to stabi l i ze
oi l l evel , check di psti ck. The oi l l evel i n the pan
shoul d never be above the FULL mark or bel ow the

TAPPET NOISE DIAGNOSIS
(1) To determi ne source of tappet noi se, operate
engi ne at i dl e wi th cyl i nder head covers removed.
(2) Feel each val ve spri ng or rocker arm to detect
noi sy tappet. The noi sy tappet wi l l cause the affected
spri ng and/or rocker arm to vi brate or feel rough i n
operati on.
NOTE: Worn valve guides or cocked springs are
sometimes mistaken for noisy tappets. If such is
the case, noise may be dampened by applying side
thrust on the valve spring. If noise is not apprecia-
bly reduced, it can be assumed the noise is in the
tappet. Inspect the rocker arm push rod sockets
and push rod ends for wear.
(3) Val ve tappet noi se ranges from l i ght noi se to a
heavy cl i ck. A l i ght noi se i s usual l y caused by exces-
si ve l eak down around the uni t pl unger or by the
pl unger parti al l y sti cki ng i n the tappet body cyl i nder.
The tappet shoul d be repl aced. A heavy cl i ck i s

ei gn parti cl es becomi ng wedged between the pl unger
and the tappet body. Thi s wi l l cause the pl unger to
sti ck i n the down posi ti on. Thi s heavy cl i ck wi l l be
accompani ed by excessi ve cl earance between the
val ve stem and rocker arm as val ve cl oses. I n ei ther

GENERAL INFORMATION
EXHAUST SYSTEM
The exhaust systems are produced i n several con-
fi gurati ons, dependi ng on engi ne and vehi cl e (Fi g. 1).
AWD vehi cl es have a catal yti c converter mounted
heat shi el d. The tai l pi pes, muffl ers, and resonators
are tuned to each vehi cl e/powertrai n combi nati on.
CATALYTIC CONVERTERS
There i s no regul arl y schedul ed mai ntenance on
any Chrysl er catal yti c converter. I f damaged, the con-
verter must be repl aced.
CAUTION: Due to exterior physical similarities of
some catalytic converters with pipe assemblies,
extreme care should be taken with replacement
parts. There are internal converter differences
required in some parts of the country.
The combusti on reacti on caused by the catal yst
rel eases addi ti onal heat i n the exhaust system. Caus-
i ng temperature i ncreases i n the area of the reactor
under severe operati ng condi ti ons. Such condi ti ons
can exi st when the engi ne mi sfi res or otherwi se does
not operate at peak effi ci ency. Do not remove spark
pl ug wi res from pl ugs or by any other means short
out cyl i nders of the exhaust system i f equi pped wi th

a catal yti c converter. Fai l ure of the catal yti c con-
verter can occur due to temperature i ncreases caused
by unburned fuel i gni ti ng when passi ng through the
converter.
The use of the catal ysts al so i nvol ves some non-au-
tomoti ve probl ems. Unl eaded gasol i ne must be used
to avoi d poi soni ng the catal yst core. Do not al l ow
engi ne to operate at fast i dl e for extended peri ods
(over 5 mi nutes). Thi s condi ti on may resul t i n exces-
si ve exhaust system and fl oor pan temperatures.
EXHAUST GAS RECIRCULATION (EGR)
To assi st i n the control of oxi des of ni trogen (NOx)
i n engi ne exhaust, al l engi nes are equi pped wi th an
exhaust gas reci rcul ati on system. The use of exhaust
gas to di l ute i ncomi ng ai r/fuel mi xtures l owers peak
fl ame temperatures duri ng combusti on, thus l i mi ti ng
the formati on of NOx.
Exhaust gases are taken from openi ng i n the
exhaust mani fol d passage to the i ntake mani fol d.

DESCRI PTI ON, DI AGNOSI S AND SERVI CE PRO-

TI ON SYSTEM AND COMPONENTS.
HEAT SHIELDS
Heat shi el ds (Fi g. 2) are needed to protect both the
vehi cl e and the fl oor pan from the hi gh temperatures
devel oped near the catal yti c converter and muffl er.
Avoid application of rust prevention com-
pounds or undercoating materials to exhaust
system floor pan heat shields on cars so
equipped. Light over spray near the edges is
permitted. Application of coating will greatly
reduce the efficiency of the heat shields result-
ing in excessive floor pan temperatures and
objectionable fumes.
EXHAUST FLEX-JOINT COUPLING
A exhaust fl ex-joi nt coupl i ng (Fi g. 3) i s used to
secure the catal yti c converter to the engi ne mani fol d.
Thi s l i vi ng joi nt actual l y moves back and forth as the
engi ne moves, preventi ng breakage that coul d occur
from the back-and-forth moti on of a transverse
mounted engi ne.
The exhaust fl ex-joi nt has four bol ts, four fl ag nuts
and a gasket that are separate parts from the
exhaust fl ex-joi nt. The fl ex-joi nt i s wel ded to the cat-
al yti c converter.

CAUTION: When servicing, care must be exercised
not to dent or bend the bellows of the flex-joint.
Should this occur, the flex-joint will eventually fail
and require the catalytic converter be replaced.

materi al s that contai n oxygen such as al cohol , MTBE
(Methyl Terti ary Butyl Ether) and ETBE (Ethyl Ter-
ti ary Butyl Ether). Oxygenates are requi red i n some
areas of the country duri ng wi nter months to reduce
carbon monoxi de emi ssi ons. The type and amount of
oxygenate used i n the bl end i s i mportant.
The fol l owi ng are general l y used i n gasol i ne
bl ends:
Ethanol - (Ethyl or Grai n Al cohol ) properl y
bl ended, i s used as a mi xture of 10 percent ethanol
and 90 percent gasol i ne. Gasol i ne bl ended wi th etha-
nol may be used i n your vehi cl e.
MTBE/ETBE - Gasol i ne and MTBE (Methyl Ter-
ti ary Butyl Ether) bl ends are a mi xture of unl eaded
gasol i ne and up to 15 percent MTBE. Gasol i ne and
ETBE (Ethyl Terti ary Butyl Ether) are bl ends of gas-
ol i ne and up to 17 percent ETBE. Gasol i ne bl ended
wi th MTBE or ETBE may be used i n your vehi cl e.
Methanol - Methanol (Methyl or Wood Al cohol ) i s
used i n a vari ety of concentrati ons bl ended wi th
unl eaded gasol i ne. You may encounter fuel s contai n-
i ng 3 percent or more methanol al ong wi th other
al cohol s cal l ed cosol vents.
DO NOT USE GASOLINES CONTAINING
METHANOL.
Use of methanol /gasol i ne bl ends may resul t i n
starti ng and dri veabi l i ty probl ems and damage cri ti -
cal fuel system components.
Probl ems that are the resul t of usi ng methanol /

DESCRIPTION AND OPERATION
FUEL DELIVERY SYSTEM
The front wheel dri ve van uses a pl asti c fuel tank
l ocated on the l eft si de of the vehi cl e.
The Fuel Del i very System consi sts of: the el ectri c
fuel pump modul e, fuel fi l ter, tubes/l i nes/hoses, fuel
rai l , and fuel i njectors.
The i n-tank fuel pump modul e contai ns the fuel
pump and pressure regul ator. The pump i s servi ced
as part of the fuel pump modul e. Refer to Fuel Pump
Modul e.
The fuel fi l ter i s a repl aceabl e i n-l i ne fi l ter. The fi l -
ter attaches to a bracket mounted on top of the fuel
tank. Refer to the Mai ntenance Schedul es i n the
I ntroducti on secti on of thi s manual for recommended
fuel fi l ter repl acement i nterval s.
A returnl ess fuel system i s used on al l vehi cl es.
Fuel i s returned through the fuel pump modul e and
back to the fuel tank. A separate fuel return l i ne
from the tank to the engi ne i s no l onger used.
FUEL PUMP MODULE
The fuel pump modul e i s i nstal l ed i n the top of the
fuel tank (Fi g. 1). The fuel pump modul e contai ns the
fol l owi ng:
El ectri c fuel pump
Fuel pump reservoi r
I nl et strai ner
Fuel pressure regul ator
Fuel gauge sendi ng uni t
Fuel suppl y l i ne connecti on
The inlet strainer, fuel pressure regulator
and fuel level sensor are the only serviceable
items. If the fuel pump or electrical wiring har-
ness requires service, replace the fuel pump
module.
ELECTRIC FUEL PUMP
The el ectri c fuel pump i s l ocated i n and i s part of
the fuel pump modul e. I t i s a posi ti ve di spl acement,
gerotor type, i mmersi bl e pump wi th a permanent
magnet el ectri c motor. The pump draws fuel through
a strai ner and pushes i t through the motor to the
outl et. The pump contai ns one check val ve. The

rel ay provi des vol tage to the fuel pump.
The fuel pump has a maxi mum deadheaded pres-
sure output of approxi matel y 635 kPa (95 psi ). The
regul ator adjusts fuel system pressure to approxi -
matel y 338 kPa (49 psi ).
FUEL PUMP ELECTRICAL CONTROL
Vol tage to operate the el ectri c pump i s suppl i ed
through the fuel pump rel ay. For an el ectri cal opera-
ti onal descri pti on of the fuel pump refer to fuel Pump
Rel ayPCM Output.
ELECTRICAL PUMP REPLACEMENT
The el ectri c fuel pump i s not servi ceabl e. I f the
fuel pump or el ectri cal wi ri ng harness needs repl ace-
ment, the compl ete fuel pump modul e must be
repl aced. Perform the Fuel System Pressure Rel ease
procedure before servi ci ng the fuel pump.
FUEL LEVEL SENSOR
The l evel sensor i s attached to the si de of the fuel
pump modul e. The l evel sensor consi sts of a fl oat, an
arm, and a vari abl e resi stor. As the fuel l evel
i ncreases, the fl oat and arm move up. Thi s decreases
the sendi ng uni t resi stance, causi ng the fuel gauge
on the i nstrument panel to read ful l .
FUEL PRESSURE REGULATOR
The fuel system uses a nonadjustabl e pressure reg-
ul ator that mai ntai ns fuel system pressure at
approxi matel y 338 kPa (49 psi ), 3.3l uses approxi -
matel y 379 kPa (55 psi ). The fuel pressure regul ator
contai ns a di aphragm, cal i brated spri ng and a fuel
return val ve. The spri ng pushes down on the di a-
phragm and cl oses off the fuel return port. System
fuel pressure refl ects the amount of fuel pressure
requi red to open the return port.
The pressure regul ator i s a mechani cal devi ce that
i s NOT control l ed by the PCM or engi ne vacuum.
FUEL INJECTORS
The fuel i njectors are 12 ohm el ectri cal sol enoi ds
(Fi g. 2). The i njector contai ns a pi ntl e that cl oses off
an ori fi ce at the nozzl e end. When el ectri c current i s
suppl i ed to the i njector, the armature and needl e
move a short di stance agai nst a spri ng, al l owi ng fuel
to fl ow out the ori fi ce. Because the fuel i s under hi gh
pressure, a fi ne spray i s devel oped i n the shape of a
hol l ow cone. The sprayi ng acti on atomi zes the fuel ,
addi ng i t to the ai r enteri ng the combusti on chamber.
The i njectors are posi ti oned i n the i ntake mani fol d.
Fuel i njectors are not i nterchangeabl e between
engi nes.
The i njectors are posi ti oned i n the i ntake mani fol d
wi th the nozzl e ends di rectl y above the i ntake val ve
port (Fi g. 3).
FUEL TANK
The fuel tanks of al l Chrysl er Motors bui l t vehi cl es
are equi pped wi th fuel and vapor control s that al l ow
the vehi cl e to pass a ful l 360 rol l over wi thout fuel
l eakage.
Front Wheel Dri ve fuel del i very systems contai n a
fuel tank rol l over val ve. The val ve i s mounted on top
of the fuel tank. The val ve functi ons as a tank pres-
sure control val ve whi l e the vehi cl e i s upri ght, but
contai ns a check val ve that prevents fuel from escap-
i ng from the fuel tank when the vehi cl e i s turned
over.
The fuel fi l l er cap acts as a pressure/vacuum rel i ef
val ve. When ai r pressure i nsi de the fuel tank gets too
hi gh or too l ow, the fuel fi l l er cap opens to rel i eve the
di fference i n pressure.

GENERAL INFORMATION
INTRODUCTION
Al l engi nes used i n thi s secti on have a sequenti al
Mul ti -Port El ectroni c Fuel I njecti on system. The MPI
system i s computer regul ated and provi des preci se
ai r/fuel rati os for al l dri vi ng condi ti ons. The Power-
trai n Control Modul e (PCM) operates the fuel i njec-
ti on system.
The PCM regul ates:
I gni ti on ti mi ng
Ai r/fuel rati o
Emi ssi on control devi ces
Cool i ng fan
Chargi ng system
I dl e speed
Vehi cl e speed control
Vari ous sensors provi de the i nputs necessary for
the PCM to correctl y operate these systems. I n addi -
ti on to the sensors, vari ous swi tches al so provi de
i nputs to the PCM.
Al l i nputs to the PCM are converted i nto si gnal s.
The PCM can adapt i ts programmi ng to meet chang-
i ng operati ng condi ti ons.
Fuel i s i njected i nto the i ntake port above the
i ntake val ve i n preci se metered amounts through
el ectri cal l y operated i njectors. The PCM fi res the
i njectors i n a speci fi c sequence. Under most operat-
i ng condi ti ons, the PCM mai ntai ns an ai r fuel rati o
of 14.7 parts ai r to 1 part fuel by constantl y adjust-
i ng i njector pul se wi dth. I njector pul se wi dth i s the
l ength of ti me the i njector i s open.
The PCM adjusts i njector pul se wi dth by openi ng
and cl osi ng the ground path to the i njector. Engi ne
RPM (speed) and mani fol d absol ute pressure (ai r
densi ty) are the pri mary i nputs that determi ne i njec-
tor pul se wi dth.
MODES OF OPERATION
As i nput si gnal s to the PCM change, the PCM
adjusts i ts response to output devi ces. For exampl e,
the PCM must cal cul ate a di fferent i njector pul se
wi dth and i gni ti on ti mi ng for i dl e than i t does for
Wi de Open Throttl e (WOT). There are several di ffer-
ent modes of operati on that determi ne how the PCM
responds to the vari ous i nput si gnal s.
There are two di fferent areas of operati on, OPEN
LOOP and CLOSED LOOP.
Duri ng OPEN LOOP modes the PCM recei ves
i nput si gnal s and responds accordi ng to preset PCM
programmi ng. I nput from the oxygen (O2S) sensor i s
not moni tored duri ng OPEN LOOP modes.
Duri ng CLOSED LOOP modes the PCM does mon-
i tor the O2S sensor i nput. Thi s i nput i ndi cates to the
PCM whether or not the cal cul ated i njector pul se
wi dth resul ts i n the i deal ai r/fuel rati o of 14.7 parts
ai r to 1 part fuel . By moni tori ng the exhaust oxygen
content through the O2S sensor, the PCM can fi ne
tune the i njector pul se wi dth. Fi ne tuni ng i njector
pul se wi dth al l ows the PCM to achi eve opti mum fuel
economy combi ned wi th l ow emi ssi ons.
The mul ti -port fuel i njecti on system has the fol l ow-
i ng modes of operati on:
I gni ti on swi tch ON (zero RPM)
Engi ne start-up
Engi ne warm-up
Crui se (I dl e)
Accel erati on
Decel erati on
Wi de Open Throttl e
I gni ti on swi tch OFF
The engi ne start-up (crank), engi ne warm-up, and
wi de open throttl e modes are OPEN LOOP modes.
Under most operati ng condi ti ons, the accel erati on,
decel erati on, and crui se modes, with the engine at
operating temperature are CLOSED LOOP modes.
IGNITION SWITCH ON (ZERO RPM) MODE
When the mul ti -port fuel i njecti on system i s acti -
vated by the i gni ti on swi tch, the fol l owi ng acti ons
occur:
The PCM determi nes atmospheri c ai r pressure
from the MAP sensor i nput to determi ne basi c fuel
strategy.
The PCM moni tors the cool ant temperature sen-
sor and throttl e posi ti on sensor i nput. The PCM mod-
i fi es fuel strategy based on thi s i nput.
When the key i s i n the ON posi ti on and the engi ne
i s not runni ng (zero rpm), the Automati c Shutdown
(ASD) rel ay and fuel pump rel ay are not energi zed.
Therefore battery vol tage i s not suppl i ed to the fuel

The ASD sense ci rcui t i nforms the PCM when the
ASD rel ay energi zes. A 12 vol t si gnal at thi s i nput
i ndi cates to the PCM that the ASD has been acti -

CAMSHAFT POSITION SENSORPCM INPUT
The PCM determi nes fuel i njecti on synchroni zati on
and cyl i nder i denti fi cati on from i nputs provi ded by
the camshaft posi ti on sensor and crankshaft posi ti on
sensor. From the two i nputs, the PCM determi nes
crankshaft posi ti on.
3.3/3.8L
The sensor generates pul ses as groups of notches
on the camshaft sprocket pass underneath i t (Fi g. 2).
The PCM keeps track of crankshaft rotati on and
i denti fi es each cyl i nder by the pul ses generated by
the notches on the camshaft sprocket. Four crank-
shaft pul ses fol l ow each group of camshaft pul ses.
When the PCM recei ves two camshaft pul ses fol -
l owed by the l ong fl at spot on the camshaft sprocket,
i t knows that the crankshaft ti mi ng marks for cyl i n-
der one are next (on dri vepl ate). When the PCM
recei ves one camshaft pul se after the l ong fl at spot
on the sprocket, cyl i nder number two crankshaft ti m-

DESCRIPTION AND OPERATION (Continued)
When metal al i gns wi th the sensor, vol tage goes
l ow (l ess than 0.5 vol ts). When a notch al i gns wi th
the sensor, vol tage spi kes hi gh (5.0 vol ts). As a group
of notches pass under the sensor, the vol tage
swi tches from l ow (metal ) to hi gh (notch) then back
to l ow. The number of notches determi ne the amount
of pul ses. I f avai l abl e, an osci l l oscope can di spl ay the
square wave patterns of each ti mi ng events.
Top dead center (TDC) does not occur when
notches on the camshaft sprocket pass bel ow the cyl -
i nder. TDC occurs after the camshaft pul se (or
pul ses) and after the 4 crankshaft pul ses associ ated
wi th the parti cul ar cyl i nder. The arrows and cyl i nder
cal l outs on Fi gure 4 represent whi ch cyl i nder the
fl at spot and notches i denti fy, they do not i ndi cate
TDC posi ti on.
The camshaft posi ti on sensor i s mounted to the top
of the ti mi ng case cover (Fi g. 4). The bottom of the
sensor i s posi ti oned above the camshaft sprocket.
The distance between the bottom of sensor and
the camshaft sprocket is critical to the opera-
tion of the system. When servicing the camshaft
position sensor, refer to the 3.3L and 3.8L Multi-
Port Fuel InjectionService Procedures sec-
tion in this Group.

The camshaft posi ti on sensor attaches to the rear
of the cyl i nder head (Fi g. 5). A target magnet
attaches to the rear of the camshaft and i ndexes to
the correct posi ti on (Fi g. 6). The target magnet has
four di fferent pol es arranged i n an asymmetri cal pat-
tern. As the target magnet rotates, the camshaft
posi ti on sensor senses the change i n pol ari ty (Fi g. 7).
The sensor output swi tch swi tches from hi gh (5.0
vol ts) to l ow (0.30 vol ts) as the target magnet rotates.
When the north pol e of the target magnet passes
under the sensor, the output swi tches hi gh. The sen-
sor output swi tches l ow when the south pol e of the
target magnet passes underneath.

3.0/3.3/3.8L
The crankshaft posi ti on sensor (Fi g. 8) senses sl ots
cut i nto the transaxl e dri vepl ate extensi on. There are
3 sets of sl ots. Each set contai ns 4 sl ots, for a total of
12 sl ots (Fi g. 9). Basi c ti mi ng i s set by the posi ti on of
the l ast sl ot i n each group. Once the PCM senses the

DESCRIPTION AND OPERATION (Continued)
The crankshaft posi ti on sensor i s l ocated i n the
transaxl e housi ng, above the vehi cl e speed sensor
(Fi g. 10). The bottom of the sensor i s posi ti oned next
to the dri ve pl ate. The distance between the bot-
tom of sensor and the drive plate is critical to
the operation of the system. When servicing the
crankshaft position sensor, refer to the appro-

The second crankshaft counterwei ght has
machi ned i nto i t two sets of four ti mi ng reference
notches and a 60 degree si gnature notch (Fi g. 11).
From the crankshaft posi ti on sensor i nput the PCM
determi nes engi ne speed and crankshaft angl e (posi -
ti on).
The notches generate pul ses from hi gh to l ow i n
the crankshaft posi ti on sensor output vol tage. When
a metal porti on of the counterwei ght al i gns wi th the
crankshaft posi ti on sensor, the sensor output vol tage
goes l ow (l ess than 0.3 vol ts). When a notch al i gns
wi th the sensor, vol tage spi kes hi gh (5.0 vol ts). As a
group of notches pass under the sensor, the output
vol tage swi tches from l ow (metal ) to hi gh (notch)
then back to l ow.
I f avai l abl e, an osci l l oscope can di spl ay the square
wave patterns of each vol tage pul se. From the wi dth
of the output vol tage pul ses, the PCM cal cul ates
engi ne speed. The wi dth of the pul ses represent the
amount of ti me the output vol tage stays hi gh before
swi tchi ng back to l ow. The peri od of ti me the sensor
output vol tage stays hi gh before swi tchi ng back to
l ow i s referred to as pul se wi dth. The faster the
engi ne i s operati ng, the smal l er the pul se wi dth on
the osci l l oscope.
By counti ng the pul ses and referenci ng the pul se
from the 60 degree si gnature notch, the PCM cal cu-
l ates crankshaft angl e (posi ti on). I n each group of
ti mi ng reference notches, the fi rst notch represents
69 degrees before top dead center (BTDC). The sec-
ond notch represents 49 degrees BTDC. The thi rd
notch represents 29 degrees. The l ast notch i n each
set represents 9 degrees before top dead center
(TDC).
The ti mi ng reference notches are machi ned to a
uni form wi dth representi ng 13.6 degrees of crank-
shaft rotati on. From the vol tage pul se wi dth the
PCM tel l s the di fference between the ti mi ng refer-
ence notches and the 60 degree si gnature notch. The
60 degree si gnature notch produces a l onger pul se
wi dth than the smal l er ti mi ng reference notches. I f
the camshaft posi ti on sensor i nput swi tches from
hi gh to l ow when the 60 degree si gnature notch
passes under the crankshaft posi ti on sensor, the
PCM knows cyl i nder number one i s the next cyl i nder
at TDC.
The crankshaft posi ti on sensor mounts to the
engi ne bl ock behi nd the generator, just above the oi l
fi l ter (Fi g. 12).

HEATED OXYGEN SENSOR (O2S SENSOR)PCM
INPUT
The O2S produce vol tages from 0 to 1 vol t, depend-
i ng upon the oxygen content of the exhaust gas i n
the exhaust mani fol d. When a l arge amount of oxy-

The Automati c Shutdown (ASD) rel ay suppl i es bat-
tery vol tage to both the upstream and downstream
heated oxygen sensors. The oxygen sensors are
equi pped wi th a heati ng el ement. The heati ng el e-
ments reduce the ti me requi red for the sensors to
reach operati ng temperature.
UPSTREAM HEATED OXYGEN SENSOR
The upstream O2S i s l ocated i n the exhaust mani -
fol d and provi des an i nput vol tage to the PCM. The
i nput tel l s the PCM the oxygen content of the
exhaust gas (Fi g. 16) or (Fi g. 17) or (Fi g. 18). The
PCM uses thi s i nformati on to fi ne tune the ai r/fuel
rati o by adjusti ng i njector pul se wi dth.
DOWNSTREAM HEATED OXYGEN SENSOR
The downstream heated oxygen sensor threads i nto
the outl et pi pe at the rear of the catal yti c convertor
(Fi g. 19). The downstream heated oxygen sensor
i nput i s used to detect catal yti c convertor deteri ora-
ti on. As the convertor deteri orates, the i nput from
the downstream sensor begi ns to match the upstream
sensor i nput except for a sl i ght ti me del ay. By com-
pari ng the downstream heated oxygen sensor i nput
to the i nput from the upstream sensor, the PCM cal -
cul ates catal yti c convertor effi ci ency.
When the catal yti c converter effi ci ency drops bel ow
emi ssi on standards, the PCM stores a di agnosti c

SENSORPCM INPUT
The PCM suppl i es 5 vol ts to the MAP sensor. The
MAP sensor converts i ntake mani fol d pressure i nto
vol tage. The PCM moni tors the MAP sensor output
vol tage. As vacuum i ncreases, MAP sensor vol tage
decreases proporti onatel y. Al so, as vacuum decreases,
MAP sensor vol tage i ncreases proporti onatel y.
Duri ng cranki ng, before the engi ne starts runni ng,
the PCM determi nes atmospheri c ai r pressure from

SOLID STATE FAN RELAYPCM OUTPUT
The radi ator fan runs at a vari abl e speed depend-
i ng on cool ant temperature and A/C system pressure.
The radi ator fan ci rcui t contai ns a Sol i d State Fan
Rel ay (SSFR). Refer to the Group 8W for a ci rcui t
schemati c.
A 5 vol t si gnal i s suppl i ed to the SSFR. The PCM
provi des a pul sed ground for the SSFR. Dependi ng
upon the amount of pul se on ti me, the SSFR puts out
a proporti onal vol tage to the fan motor at the l ower
speed. For i nstance, i f the on ti me i s 30 percent, then
the vol tage to the fan motor wi l l be 3.6 vol ts.
When engi ne cool ant reaches approxi matel y 102C
(215F) the PCM grounds the SSFR rel ay. I f engi ne
cool ant reaches 207C (225F) the PCM grounds the
hi gh speed ground rel ay and hi gh speed fan rel ay. I f
the fan operates at hi gh speed, the PCM de-energi zes
the hi gh speed rel ay and hi gh speed ground rel ay
when cool ant temperature drops to approxi matel y
101C (214F). When cool ant temperature drops to
101C (214F) the fan operates at l ow speed. The
PCM de-energi zes the l ow speed rel ay when cool ant
temperature drops to approxi matel y 93C (199F).
Al so, when the ai r condi ti oni ng pressure swi tch

FUEL SHUTDOWN SOLENOID
The fuel shutdown solenoid is controlled and
operated by the PCM.
The fuel shutdown (shut-off) sol enoi d i s used to
el ectri cal l y shut off the di esel fuel suppl y to the hi gh-
pressure fuel i njecti on pump. The sol enoi d i s
mounted to the rear of the i njecti on pump (Fi g. 4).
The sol enoi d control s starti ng and stoppi ng of the
engi ne regardl ess of the posi ti on of the accel erator
pedal . When the i gni ti on (key) swi tch i s OFF, the
sol enoi d i s shut off and fuel fl ow i s not al l owed to the
fuel i njecti on pump. When the key i s pl aced i n the
ON or START posi ti ons, fuel suppl y i s al l owed at the
i njecti on pump.
FUEL INJECTION PUMP
The fuel i njecti on pump i s a mechani cal di stri bu-
tortype, Bosch VP36 seri es (Fi g. 5). A gear on the
end of the i njecti on pump shaft meshes wi th the
dri ve gear at the front of engi ne. The pump i s
mechani cal l y ti med, rel ati ve to the posi ti on of the
cam and crankshaft. The PCM can make adjust-
ments to the ti mi ng of the i njecti on pump.
The i njecti on pump contai ns the fuel shutdown
sol enoi d, fuel temperature sensor, control sl eeve sen-
sor, fuel quanti ty actuator and the fuel ti mi ng sol e-
noi d (Fi g. 5).
I n the el ectroni cal l y control l ed i njecti on pump, the
pump pl unger works the same as the pump pl unger
i n a mechani cal l y control l ed i njecti on pump, but the
amount of fuel and the ti me the fuel i s i njected i s
control l ed by the vehi cl es PCM, i nstead of by a
mechani cal governor assembl y. A sol enoi d control l ed
by the PCM i s used i n pl ace of the mechani cal gov-
ernor assembl y, and i t moves a control sl eeve i nsi de
the pump that regul ates the amount of fuel bei ng
i njected. There i s no mechani cal connecti on between
the accel erator pedal and the el ectroni cal l y control l ed
i njecti on pump. I nstead, a sensor connected to the
accel erator pedal sends a si gnal to the PCM that rep-
resents the actual posi ti on of the accel erator pedal .
The PCM uses thi s i nput, al ong wi th i nput from
other sensors to move the control sl eeve to del i ver
the appropri ate amount of fuel . Thi s system i s known
as Dri ve-By-Wi re
The actual ti me that the fuel i s del i vered i s very
i mportant to the di esel combusti on process. The PCM
moni tors outputs from the engi ne speed sensor (fl y-
wheel posi ti on i n degrees), and the fuel i njector sen-
sor (mechani cal movement wi thi n the #1 cyl i nder
fuel i njector). Outputs from the Accel erator Pedal
Posi ti on sensor, engi ne speed sensor (engi ne rpm)
and engi ne cool ant temperature sensor are al so used.
The PCM wi l l then compare i ts set val ues to these
outputs to el ectri cal l y adjust the amount of fuel ti m-
i ng (amount of advance) wi thi n the i njecti on pump.
Thi s i s referred to as Cl osed Loop operati on. The
PCM moni tors fuel ti mi ng by compari ng i ts set val ue
to when the i njector #1 opens. I f the val ue i s greater
than a preset val ue a faul t wi l l be set.

DESCRIPTION AND OPERATION (Continued)
Actual el ectri c fuel ti mi ng (amount of advance) i s
accompl i shed by the fuel ti mi ng sol enoi d mounted to
the bottom of the i njecti on pump (Fi g. 5). Fuel ti mi ng
wi l l be adjusted by the PCM, whi ch control s the fuel
ti mi ng sol enoi d.
An overfl ow val ve i s attached i nto the fuel return
l i ne at the rear of the fuel i njecti on pump (Fi g. 4).
Thi s val ve serves two purposes. One i s to ensure that
a certai n amount of resi dual pressure i s mai ntai ned
wi thi n the pump when the engi ne i s swi tched off.
Thi s wi l l prevent the fuel ti mi ng mechani sm wi thi n
the i njecti on pump from returni ng to i ts zero posi -
ti on. The other purpose i s to al l ow excess fuel to be
returned to the fuel tank through the fuel return
l i ne. The pressure val ues wi thi n thi s val ve are preset
and can not be adjusted.
The fuel i njecti on pump suppl i es hi ghpressure
fuel of approxi matel y 45,000 kPa (6526 psi ) to each
i njector i n preci se metered amounts at the correct
ti me.
For mechani cal i njecti on pump ti mi ng, refer to
Fuel I njecti on Pump Ti mi ng i n the Servi ce Proce-
dures secti on of thi s group.
FUEL INJECTORS
Fuel drai n tubes (Fi g. 6) are used to route excess
fuel back to the overfl ow val ve (Fi g. 4) at the rear of
the i njecti on pump. Thi s excess fuel i s then returned
to the fuel tank through the fuel return l i ne.
The i njectors are connected to the fuel i njecti on
pump by the hi gh pressure fuel l i nes. A separate
i njector i s used for each of the four cyl i nders. An
i njector contai ni ng a sensor (Fi g. 7) i s used on the
cyl i nder number one i njector. Thi s i njector i s cal l ed
i nstrumented i njector #1 or needl e movement sensor.
I t i s used to tel l the PCM when the #1 i njectors
i nternal spri ng-l oaded val ve seat has been forced
open by pressuri zed fuel bei ng del i vered to the cyl i n-
der, whi ch i s at the end of i ts compressi on stroke.
When the i nstrumented i njectors val ve seat i s force
open, i t sends a smal l vol tage spi ke pul se to the
PCM. Thi s tel l s the PCM that the engi ne i s at TDC
on the number one cyl i nder. I t i s not used wi th the
other three i njectors.
Fuel enters the i njector at the fuel i nl et (top of
i njector) and i s routed to the needl e val ve bore. When
fuel pressure ri ses to approxi matel y 15,00015,800
kPa (21752291 psi ), the needl e val ve spri ng tensi on
i s overcome. The needl e val ve ri ses and fuel fl ows
through the spray hol es i n the nozzl e ti p i nto the
combusti on chamber. The pressure requi red to l i ft
the needl e val ve i s the i njector openi ng pressure set-
ti ng. Thi s i s referred to as the pop-off pressure set-
ti ng.
Fuel pressure i n the i njector ci rcui t decreases after
i njecti on. The i njector needl e val ve i s i mmedi atel y
cl osed by the needl e val ve spri ng and fuel fl ow i nto
the combusti on chamber i s stopped. Exhaust gases
are prevented from enteri ng the i njector nozzl e by
the needl e val ve.
A copper washer (gasket) i s used at the base of
each i njector (Fi g. 7) to prevent combusti on gases
from escapi ng.

the Mass Ai r Fl ow (MAF). I n the I ntake Ai r Temper-
ature Sensor component, there i s a cerami c el ement
that changes i ts resi stance based on temperature.
The cerami c el ement i s part of an el ectroni c ci rcui t
connected to the PCM, and has a vol tage appl i ed to
i t. The cerami c el ement i s exposed to the ai r i nsi de
the i ntake. Thi s ai r has a cool i ng effect on the
cerami c el ement, and i ts resi stance changes. Thi s
causes the vol tage fl owi ng through the i ntake ai r
temperature ci rcui t to vary. The vol tage si gnal pro-
duced by the I ntake Ai r Temperature Sensor changes
i nversel y to the temperature, and i s measured by the
PCM. As a general rul e, when the temperature of the
ai r i n the i ntake i s hi gh, the vol tage si gnal produced
by the I ntake Ai r Temperature Sensor i s l ow. The
component of the Boost Pressure Sensor that mea-
sures mani fol d vacuum and turbo boost produces a
vol tage si gnal that i s proporti onal to the pressure i n
the i nake mani fol d. When the i ntake mani fol d pres-
sure i s l ow, the vol tage i s l ow, and when the pressure
i s hi gh, the vol tage i s hi gh. The PCM uses the vol t-
age si gnal s from the Boost Pressure Sensor, and the
I ntake Ai r Temperature Sensor to determi ne the
amount of ai r fl owi ng through the i ntake mani fol d.
VEHICLE THEFT ALARM
The PCM can l earn i f the vehi cl e has a Vehi cl e
Theft Al arm (VTA) system. Once i t detects the vehi -
cl e havi ng VTA, the controller can ONLY BE
USED ON VEHICLES WITH VTA.
I f the PCM i s put i t on a vehi cl e wi thout VTA the

The fol l owi ng procedure appl i es to the Di esel PCM
and other rel ays.
(1) Remove rel ay from connector before testi ng.
(2) Wi th the rel ay removed from the vehi cl e, use
an ohmmeter to check the resi stance between termi -
nal s 85 and 86. The resi stance shoul d be between 75
5 ohms.
(3) Connect the ohmmeter between termi nal s 30
and 87A. The ohmmeter shoul d show conti nui ty
between termi nal s 30 and 87A.
(4) Connect the ohmmeter between termi nal s 87
and 30. The ohmmeter shoul d not show conti nui ty at
thi s ti me.
(5) Connect one end of a jumper wi re (16 gauge or
smal l er) to rel ay termi nal 85. Connect the other end
of the jumper wi re to the ground si de of a 12 vol t
power source.
(6) Connect one end of another jumper wi re (16
gauge or smal l er) to the power si de of the 12 vol t
power source. Do not attach the other end of the
jumper wire to the relay at this time.
WARNING: DO NOT ALLOW OHMMETER TO CON-
TACT TERMINALS 85 OR 86 DURING THIS TEST.

spare pressure hose, to power steeri ng pump pres-
sure hose fi tti ng.
(4) Compl etel y open val ve on Speci al Tool 6815.
(5) Start engi ne and l et i dl e l ong enough to ci rcu-
l ate power steeri ng fl ui d through fl ow/pressure test
and get ai r out of fl ui d. Then shut off engi ne.
(6) Check power steeri ng fl ui d l evel , and add fl ui d
as necessary. Start engi ne agai n and l et i dl e.
(7) Pressure gauge shoul d read bel ow 862 kPa
(125 psi ), i f above, i nspect the hoses for restri cti ons
and repai r as necessary. The i ni ti al pressure readi ng
shoul d be i n the range of 345-552 kPa (50-80 psi ).
The fl ow meter shoul d read between 1.3 and 1.9
GPM
CAUTION: The following test procedure involves
testing power steering pump maximum pressure
output and flow control valve operation. Do not
leave valve closed for more than 5 seconds as the
pump could be damaged.
(8) Cl ose val ve ful l y three ti mes and record hi gh-
est pressure i ndi cated each ti me. All three read-
ings must be within specifications and within
345 kPa (50 psi) of each other.
NOTE: Power steering pump maximum relief pres-
sure is 9653 to 10342 kPa (1400 to 1500 psi.).
I f power steeri ng pump pressures are wi thi n the
speci fi cati ons but not wi thi n 345 kPa (50 psi ) of each
other, then repl ace power steeri ng pump.
I f pressures are wi thi n 345 kPa (50 psi ) of each
other but bel ow speci fi cati ons, then repl ace power

CAUTION: The following test procedure involves
testing power steering pump maximum pressure
output and flow control valve operation. Do not
leave valve closed for more than 5 seconds as the
pump could be damaged.
(8) Cl ose val ve ful l y three ti mes and record hi gh-
est pressure i ndi cated each ti me. All three read-
ings must be within the specifications and
within 345 kPa (50 psi) of each other.
NOTE: Power steering pump maximum relief pres-
sure is 9653 to 10342 kPa (1400 to 1500 psi.).
I f power steeri ng pump pressures are wi thi n
speci fi cati ons but not wi thi n 345 kPa (50 psi ) of each
other, then repl ace power steeri ng pump.

31TH TRANSAXLE
NOTE: Safety goggles should be worn at all times
when working on these transaxles.
Thi s transaxl e combi nes torque converter, three
speed transmi ssi on, fi nal dri ve geari ng, and di fferen-
ti al i nto a front wheel dri ve system. The i denti fi ca-
ti on marki ngs and usage of the transaxl e are charted
i n Di agnosi s and Tests.
NOTE: Transaxle operation requirements are differ-
ent for each vehicle and engine combination. Some
internal parts will be different to provide for this.
Therefore, when replacing parts, refer to the seven
digit part number stamped on rear of the transaxle
oil pan flange.
Wi thi n thi s transaxl e, there are three pri mary
areas:
(1) Mai n center l i ne pl us val ve body.
(2) Transfer shaft center l i ne (i ncl udes governor
and parki ng sprag).
(3) Di fferenti al center l i ne.
(4) Center di stances between the mai n rotati ng
parts i n these three areas are hel d preci se to mai n-
tai n a l ow noi se l evel .
(5) The torque converter, transaxl e area, and di f-
ferenti al are housed i n an i ntegral al umi num di e
casti ng. The differential oil sump is common
with the transaxle sump. Separate filling of the
differential is NOT necessary.
(6) The torque converter i s attached to the crank-
shaft through a fl exi bl e dri vi ng pl ate. Cool i ng of the
converter i s accompl i shed by ci rcul ati ng the tran-
saxl e fl ui d through a remote cool er. There are two
types of cool ers used. An oi l -to-water type cool er
l ocated i n the radi ator si de tank and/or an oi l -to ai r
heat exchanger. The torque converter assembl y i s a
seal ed uni t that cannot be di sassembl ed.
(7) The transaxl e fl ui d i s fi l tered by an i nternal fi l -
ter attached to the l ower si de of the val ve body
assembl y.
(8) Engi ne torque i s transmi tted to the torque con-

FLUID LEVEL AND CONDITION
NOTE: The transmission and differential sump have
a common oil sump with a communicating opening
between the two.
The torque converter fi l l s i n both the P Park and N
Neutral posi ti ons. Pl ace the sel ector l ever i n P Park
to be sure that the fl ui d l evel check i s accurate. The
engine should be running at idle speed for at
least one minute, with the vehicle on level
ground. This will assure complete oil level sta-
bilization between differential and transmis-
sion. The fl ui d shoul d be at normal operati ng
temperature (approxi matel y 82 C. or 180 F.). The
fl ui d l evel i s correct i f i t i s i n the HOT regi on (cross-
hatched area) on the di psti ck.
Low fl ui d l evel can cause a vari ety of condi ti ons
because i t al l ows the pump to take i n ai r al ong wi th
the fl ui d. As i n any hydraul i c system, ai r bubbl es
make the fl ui d spongy, therefore, pressures wi l l be
l ow and bui l d up sl owl y.
I mproper fi l l i ng can al so rai se the fl ui d l evel too
hi gh. When the transaxl e has too much fl ui d, the
gears churn up foam and cause the same condi ti ons
whi ch occur wi th a l ow fl ui d l evel .
I n ei ther case, the ai r bubbl es can cause overheat-
i ng, fl ui d oxi dati on, and varni shi ng. Thi s can i nter-
fere wi th normal val ve, cl utch, and servo operati on.
Foami ng can al so resul t i n fl ui d escapi ng from the
transaxl e di psti ck where i t may be mi staken for a
l eak.
Al ong wi th fl ui d l evel , i t i s i mportant to check the
condi ti on of the fl ui d. When the fl ui d smel l s burned,
and i s contami nated wi th metal or fri cti on materi al
parti cl es, a compl ete transaxl e overhaul i s needed.
Be sure to exami ne the fl ui d on the di psti ck cl osel y.

DESCRIPTION AND OPERATION
TORQUE CONVERTER CLUTCH
A torque converter cl utch i s standard on al l vehi -
cl es. The torque converter cl utch i s acti vated onl y i n
di rect dri ve and i s control l ed by the engi ne el ectron-
i cs. A sol enoi d on the val ve body, i s powered by the
powertrai n control modul e to acti vate torque con-
verter cl utch.
HYDRAULIC CONTROL SYSTEM
The hydraul i c control system makes the transaxl e
ful l y automati c, and has four i mportant functi ons to
perform. The components of any automati c control
system may be grouped i nto the fol l owi ng basi c
groups:
The pressure suppl y system, the pressure regul at-
i ng val ves, the fl ow control val ves, the cl utches, and
band servos.
Taki ng each of these basi c groups or systems i n
turn, the control system may be descri bed as fol l ows:
PRESSURE SUPPLY SYSTEM
The pressure suppl y system consi sts of an oi l pump
dri ven by the engi ne through the torque converter.
The si ngl e pump furni shes pressure for al l the
hydraul i c and l ubri cati on requi rements. Oil pump
housing assemblies are available with prese-
lected pump gears.
PRESSURE REGULATING VALVES
The pressure regul ati ng val ve control s l i ne pres-
sure dependent on throttl e openi ng. The governor
val ve transmi ts regul ated pressure to the val ve body
(i n conjuncti on wi th vehi cl e speed) to control upshi ft
and downshi ft.
The throttl e val ve transmi ts regul ated pressure to
the transaxl e (dependent on throttl e posi ti on) to con-
trol upshi ft and downshi ft.
FLOW CONTROL VALVES
The manual val ve provi des the di fferent transaxl e
dri ve ranges as sel ected by the vehi cl e operator.
The 1-2 shi ft val ve automati cal l y shi fts the tran-
saxl e from fi rst to second or from second to fi rst,
dependi ng on the vehi cl e operati on.
The 2-3 shi ft val ve automati cal l y shi fts the tran-
saxl e from second to thi rd or from thi rd to second
dependi ng on the vehi cl e operati on.
The ki ckdown val ve makes possi bl e a forced down-
shi ft from thi rd to second, second to fi rst, or thi rd to
fi rst (dependi ng on vehi cl e speed). Thi s can be done
by depressi ng the accel erator pedal past the detent
feel near wi de open throttl e.
The shuttl e val ve has two separate functi ons and
performs each i ndependentl y of the other. The fi rst i s
provi di ng fast rel ease of the ki ckdown band, and
smooth front cl utch engagement when a l i ft-foot
upshi ft from second to thi rd i s made. The second
functi on i s to regul ate the appl i cati on of the ki ck-
down servo and band when maki ng thi rd to second
ki ckdown.
The by-pass val ve provi des for smooth appl i cati on
of the ki ckdown band on 1-2 upshi fts.
The torque converter cl utch sol enoi d al l ows for the
el ectroni c control of the torque converter cl utch. I t
al so di sengages the torque converter at cl osed throt-
tl e. Thi s i s done duri ng engi ne warm-up, and part-
throttl e accel erati on.
The swi tch val ve di rects oi l to appl y the torque
converter cl utch i n one posi ti on. The swi tch val ve
rel eases the torque converter cl utch i n the other posi -
ti on.
CLUTCHES, BAND SERVOS, AND ACCUMULATOR
The front and rear cl utch pi stons, and both servo
pi stons are moved hydraul i cal l y to engage the
cl utches and appl y the bands. The pi stons are
rel eased by spri ng tensi on when hydraul i c pressure
i s rel eased. On the 2-3 upshi ft, the ki ckdown servo
pi ston i s rel eased by spri ng tensi on and hydraul i c
pressure.
The accumul ator control s the hydraul i c pressure
on the appl y si de of the ki ckdown servo duri ng the
1-2 upshi ft; thereby, cushi oni ng the ki ckdown band
appl i cati on at any throttl e posi ti on.

GOVERNOR
The governor may be servi ced by removi ng the
transaxl e oi l pan and val ve body assembl y. The gov-
ernor may be unbol ted from the governor support
and removed from the transaxl e for recondi ti oni ng or

When cl eani ng or assembl i ng the governor, make
sure the governor val ves move freel y i n the bores of
the governor body.
DIAGNOSIS AND TESTING
THREE SPEED TRANSAXLE DIAGNOSIS AND
TESTS
Automati c transaxl e mal functi ons may be caused
by four general condi ti ons:
(1) Poor engi ne performance
(2) I mproper adjustments
(3) Hydraul i c mal functi ons
(4) Mechani cal mal functi ons
Di agnosi s of these probl ems shoul d al ways begi n
by checki ng the easi l y accessi bl e vari abl es; fl ui d l evel
and condi ti on, gearshi ft cabl e adjustment, and throt-
tl e pressure cabl e adjustment. Then perform a road
test to determi ne i f the probl em has been corrected
or that more di agnosi s i s necessary. I f the probl em
exi sts after the prel i mi nary tests and correcti ons are
compl eted, hydraul i c pressure tests shoul d be per-
formed
31TH HYDRAULIC TROUBLE CODE CHARTS
The fol l owi ng charts shoul d be used to hel p di ag-
nose hydraul i c or mechani cal faul ts i n the transaxl e .
ROAD TEST
Pri or to performi ng a road test, check the fl ui d
l evel , and control cabl e adjustments.
Duri ng the road test, the transaxl e shoul d be oper-
ated i n each posi ti on to check for sl i ppi ng and any
vari ati on i n shi fti ng.
I f vehi cl e operates at hi gh speeds, but has poor
accel erati on, the converters overrunni ng cl utch may
be sl i ppi ng. I f accel erati on i s normal , but hi gh throt-
tl e openi ng i s needed for hi gh speeds, the stator
cl utch may have sei zed.
Observe cl osel y for sl i ppi ng or engi ne speed fl are-
up. Sl i ppi ng or fl are-up i n any gear usual l y i ndi cates
cl utch, band, or overrunni ng cl utch probl ems. I f the
condi ti on i s far advanced, an overhaul wi l l probabl y
be necessary to restore normal operati on.
I n most cases, the cl utch or band that i s sl i ppi ng
can be determi ned by noti ng the transaxl e operati on
i n al l sel ector posi ti ons. Then compari ng whi ch i nter-
nal uni ts are appl i ed i n those posi ti ons. The El e-
ments i n Use Chart provi des a basi s for road test
anal ysi s .
The rear cl utch i s appl i ed i n both the D fi rst gear
and 1 fi rst gear posi ti ons. Al so the overrunni ng
cl utch i s appl i ed i n D fi rst gear and the l ow/reverse
band i s appl i ed i n 1 fi rst gear posi ti on. I f the tran-
saxl e sl i ps i n D range fi rst gear, but does not sl i p i n
1 fi rst gear, the overrunni ng cl utch i s sl i ppi ng. Si mi -
l arl y, i f the transaxl e sl i ps i n any two forward gears,
the rear cl utch i s sl i ppi ng.
Usi ng the same procedure, the rear cl utch and
front cl utch are appl i ed i n D thi rd gear. I f the tran-
saxl e sl i ps i n thi rd gear, ei ther the front cl utch or the
rear cl utch i s sl i ppi ng. By sel ecti ng another gear
whi ch does not use one of those uni ts, the uni t whi ch
i s sl i ppi ng can be determi ned. I f the transaxl e al so
sl i ps i n reverse, the front cl utch i s sl i ppi ng. I f the
transaxl e does not sl i p i n reverse, the rear cl utch i s
sl i ppi ng.
The process of el i mi nati ng can be used to detect
any uni t whi ch sl i ps and to confi rm proper operati on
of good uni ts. Road testi ng can usual l y di agnose sl i p-

FLUID LEVEL AND CONDITION
NOTE: The transmission and differential sump have
a common oil sump with an opening between the
two.
The torque converter fi l l s i n both the (P) Park and
(N) Neutral posi ti ons. Pl ace the sel ector l ever i n (P)
Park to check the fl ui d l evel . The engine should be
running at idle speed for at least one minute,
with the vehicle on level ground. This will
assure complete oil level stabilization between
differential and transmission. The fl ui d shoul d be
at normal operati ng temperature (approxi matel y 82
C. or 180 F.). The fl ui d l evel i s correct i f i t i s i n the
HOT regi on (cross-hatched area) on the oi l l evel i ndi -
cator.
Low fl ui d l evel can cause a vari ety of condi ti ons
because i t al l ows the pump to take i n ai r al ong wi th
the fl ui d. As i n any hydraul i c system, ai r bubbl es
make the fl ui d spongy, therefore, pressures wi l l be
l ow and bui l d up sl owl y.
I mproper fi l l i ng can al so rai se the fl ui d l evel too
hi gh. When the transaxl e has too much fl ui d, the
gears churn up foam and cause the same condi ti ons
whi ch occur wi th a l ow fl ui d l evel .
I n ei ther case, the ai r bubbl es can cause overheat-
i ng, fl ui d oxi dati on, and varni shi ng. Thi s can i nter-
fere wi th normal val ve, cl utch, and accumul ator
operati on. Foami ng can al so resul t i n fl ui d escapi ng
from the transaxl e vent where i t may be mi staken
for a l eak.
Al ong wi th fl ui d l evel , i t i s i mportant to check the
condi ti on of the fl ui d. When the fl ui d smel l s burned,
and i s contami nated wi th metal or fri cti on materi al
parti cl es, a compl ete transaxl e overhaul i s needed.
Be sure to exami ne the fl ui d on the di psti ck cl osel y.
I f there i s any doubt about i ts condi ti on, drai n out a
sampl e for a doubl e check.
After the fl ui d has been checked, seat the di psti ck
ful l y to seal out water and di rt.
SELECTION OF LUBRICANT
I t i s i mportant that the proper l ubri cant be used i n
the 41TE transaxl e. MOPAR ATF PLUS 3 (Auto-
mati c Transmi ssi on Fl ui dtype 7176) shoul d be used
to ai d i n assuri ng opti mum transmi ssi on perfor-
mance. Fl ui ds of the type l abel ed DEXRON I I Auto-
mati c Transmi ssi on Fl ui d are not recommended. I t
i s i mportant that the transmi ssi on fl ui d be mai n-
tai ned at the prescri bed l evel usi ng the recommended
fl ui ds.
SPECIAL ADDITIVES
Chrysl er Corporati on does not recommend the
addi ti on of any fl ui ds to the transaxl e, other than the
fl ui d l i sted above. An excepti on to thi s pol i cy i s the
use of speci al dyes to ai d i n detecti ng fl ui d l eaks. The

absorb the pressure responses, and al l ow the control s
to read and respond to changes that are occurri ng.
SOLENOIDS
The sol enoi d val ves perform most control functi ons,
these val ves must be extremel y durabl e and tol erant
of di rt. For that reason hardened-steel poppet and
bal l val ves are used. These are free from any cl ose
operati ng cl earances. The sol enoi ds operate the
val ves di rectl y wi thout any i ntermedi ate el ement.
Di rect operati on means that these uni ts must have
very hi gh output. They must cl ose agai nst the si ze-
abl e fl ow areas and hi gh l i ne pressures. Fast
response i s al so requi red to meet the control requi re-
ments.
Two of the sol enoi ds are normal l y-venti ng and two
are normal l y-appl yi ng; thi s was done to provi de a
defaul t mode of operati on. Wi th no el ectri cal power,

SENSORS
There are three pressure swi tches to i denti fy sol e-

i nput (torque converter turbi ne) and output (parki ng
sprag) speeds. There i s al so a transmi ssi on range
sensor to i ndi cate the manual shi ft l ever posi ti on.
The pressure swi tches are i ncorporated i n an assem-
bl y wi th the sol enoi ds. Engi ne speed, throttl e posi -

these si gnal s are read di rectl y from the engi ne con-
trol sensors; others are read from a mul ti pl ex ci rcui t
wi th the powertrai n control modul e.
ELECTRONICS
The 41TE Transmi ssi on Control Modul e (TCM) i s
l ocated underhood i n a potted, di e-cast al umi num
housi ng. The modul e used i s a new control l er cal l ed
EATX I I I . The TCM has a seal ed, 60-way connector.
ADAPTIVE CONTROLS
These control s functi on by readi ng the i nput and
output speeds over 140 ti mes a second and respond-
i ng to each new readi ng. Thi s provi des the preci se
and sophi sti cated fri cti on el ement control needed to
make smooth cl utch-to-cl utch shi fts for al l gear

fi ed terms, the upshi ft l ogi c al l ows the rel easi ng el e-

rel ease el ement for upshi fts i s al l owed to sl i p back-
wards sl i ghtl y. The amount of that sl i p i s typi cal l y

that i t i s control l i ng. I t l earns the rel ease rate of the

For ki ckdown shi fts, the control l ogi c al l ows the

Torque management i s a uni que functi on of the Pow-
ertrai n Control Modul e (PCM). The PCM recei ves
output si gnal s from the Transmi ssi on Control Modul e
(TCM) and many vari ous engi ne sensors. The PCM
eval uates these si gnal s and deci des i f i t i s necessary
to decrease the output of the engi nes torque. Thi s

DIAGNOSIS AND TESTING
41TE TRANSAXLE GENERAL DIAGNOSIS
CAUTION: Before attempting any repair on a 41TE
four speed automatic transaxle, check for Diagnos-
tic Trouble Codes with the DRBIII scan tool. Always
use the Powertrain Diagnostic Test Procedure Man-
ual.
Transaxl e mal functi ons may be caused by these
general condi ti ons:
Poor engi ne performance
I mproper adjustments
Hydraul i c mal functi ons
Mechani cal mal functi ons
El ectroni c mal functi ons
Di agnosi s of these probl ems shoul d al ways begi n
by checki ng the easi l y accessi bl e vari abl es: fl ui d l evel
and condi ti on, gearshi ft cabl e adjustment. Then per-
form a road test to determi ne i f the probl em has been
corrected or that more di agnosi s i s necessary. I f the
probl em persi sts after the prel i mi nary tests and cor-
recti ons are compl eted, hydraul i c pressure checks
shoul d be performed.
ROAD TEST
Pri or to performi ng a road test, check the fl ui d
l evel .
Duri ng the road test, the transaxl e shoul d be oper-
ated i n each posi ti on to check for sl i ppi ng and any
vari ati on i n shi fti ng.
I f vehi cl e operates properl y at hi gh speeds, but has
poor accel erati on, the converters overrunni ng cl utch
may be sl i ppi ng. I f accel erati on i s normal , but hi gh
throttl e openi ng i s needed for hi gh speeds, the cl utch
may have sei zed. Both of these stator defects requi re
repl acement of the torque converter.
The cl utch that i s sl i ppi ng can be determi ned by
noti ng the transaxl e operati on i n al l sel ector posi -
ti ons. Then compari ng whi ch i nternal uni ts are
appl i ed i n those posi ti ons. The Elements in Use
Chart provi des a basi s for road test anal ysi s.
The process of el i mi nati on can be used to detect
any uni t whi ch sl i ps and to confi rm proper operati on
of good uni ts. Road test anal ysi s can usual l y di ag-
nose sl i ppi ng uni ts. However, the actual cause of the
mal functi on may not be detected. Practi cal l y any con-
di ti on can be caused by l eaki ng hydraul i c ci rcui ts or
sti cki ng val ves.
HYDRAULIC PRESSURE TESTS
Pressure testi ng i s a very i mportant step i n the
di agnosti c procedure. These tests usual l y reveal the
cause of most hydraul i c transaxl e probl ems.
Before performi ng pressure tests, be certai n that
fl ui d l evel and condi ti on, and shi ft cabl e adjustments
have been checked and approved. Fl ui d must be at

Thi s procedure i s used when the output fl ange i s
repl aced. Repl acement of the output fl ange requi res
i nstal l ati on of the correct si ze shi m to mai ntai n bear-
i ng prel oad. The shim must protrude from the
new output flange the same distance that the
original shim protruded from the original
flange.
(1) Stand the ori gi nal output fl ange on end wi th
shi m si de poi nti ng up.
(2) Pl ace ori gi nal shi m i nto groove i n top of fl ange.
(3) Pl ace a strai ght edge across the shi m.
(4) Usi ng feel er gauge, measure the di stance
between the strai ght edge and the top of the fl ange
(Fi g. 57). Record thi s measurement.
(5) Repeat steps Step 1 through Step 4 usi ng the
new flange and the original shim. Record thi s
measurement.
(6) I f measurements are not equal , use a new shi m
that protrudes from new output fl ange. Make sure i t
protrudes the same amount.
(7) For Exampl e: The ori gi nal shi m protrudes
0.075 i nch from the ori gi nal output fl ange. Pl ace the
original shim i nto the new output fl ange. The pro-
trusi on of the shi m i n the new fl ange i s 0.085 i nch.

sl eeves, struts, or spri ngs can cause shi ft probl ems.
NOISY OPERATION
Transaxl e noi se i s most often a resul t of worn or
damaged components. Chi pped, broken gear or syn-
chroni zer teeth, and bri nnel l ed, spal l ed beari ngs al l
cause noi se.
Abnormal wear and damage to the i nternal compo-

teri sti cs match the vehi cl es requi rements. Wi th
proper care they wi l l gi ve excel l ent rel i abi l i ty, trac-
ti on, ski d resi stance, and tread l i fe.
Dri vi ng habi ts have more effect on ti re l i fe than
any other factor. Careful dri vers wi l l obtai n, i n most
cases, much greater mi l eage than severe use or care-
l ess dri vers. A few of the dri vi ng habi ts whi ch wi l l
shorten the l i fe of any ti re are:
Rapi d accel erati on
Severe appl i cati on of brakes
Hi gh-speed dri vi ng
Taki ng turns at excessi ve speeds

Radi al -pl y ti res must al ways be used i n sets of four
and under no ci rcumstances shoul d they be used on
the front onl y. They may be mi xed wi th a temporary
spare ti re when necessary. A maxi mum speed of 50
MPH i s recommended whi l e a temporary spare i s i n

Radi al -pl y ti res have the same l oad-carryi ng capac-
i ty as other types of ti res of the same si ze. They al so
use the same recommended i nfl ati on pressures.
The use of oversi zed ti res, ei ther i n the front or

DESCRIPTION AND OPERATION (Continued)
TIRE WEAR PATTERNS
Under i nfl ati on wi l l cause wear on the shoul ders of
ti re. Over i nfl ati on wi l l cause wear at the center of
ti re.
Excessi ve camber causes the ti re to run at an
angl e to the road. One si de of tread i s then worn
more than the other (Fi g. 5).
Excessi ve toe-i n or toe-out causes wear on the
tread edges and a feathered effect across the tread
(Fi g. 5).
TIRE NOISE OR VIBRATION
Radi al -pl y ti res are sensi ti ve to force i mpul ses
caused by i mproper mounti ng, vi brati on, wheel
defects, or possi bl y ti re i mbal ance.
To fi nd out i f ti res are causi ng the noi se or vi bra-

TIRE AND WHEEL ROTATION (NON-DIRECTIONAL
THREAD PATTERN)
Ti res on the front and rear axl es operate at di ffer-
ent l oads and perform di fferent functi ons. For these
reasons, they wear at unequal rates, and tend to
devel op i rregul ar wear patterns. These effects can be
reduced by ti mel y rotati on of ti res. The benefi ts of
rotati on are especi al l y worthwhi l e. Rotati on wi l l
i ncrease tread l i fe, hel p to mai ntai n mud, snow, and
wet tracti on l evel s, and contri bute to a smooth, qui et
ri de.
The suggested rotati on method i s the forward-cross
ti re rotati on method (Fi g. 6). Thi s method takes
advantage of current ti re i ndustry practi ce whi ch
al l ows rotati on of radi al -pl y ti res. Other rotati on
methods may be used, but may not have al l the ben-
efi ts of the recommended method.
NOTE: Only the 4 tire rotation method may be used
if the vehicle is equipped with a low mileage or tem-
porary spare tire.
REPAIRING TIRE LEAKS
For proper repai ri ng, a radi al ti re must be removed
from the wheel . Before di smounti ng the ti re from the
wheel , a reference mark shoul d be pl aced on the ti re
at the val ve stem l ocati on. Thi s reference mark wi l l
ensure that the ti re i s remounted back on the wheel
i n i ts ori gi nal posi ti on. Repai rs shoul d onl y be made
i f the defect, or puncture, i s i n the tread area (Fi g.
7). The ti re shoul d be repl aced i f the puncture i s
l ocated i n the si dewal l .
Defl ate ti re compl etel y before di smounti ng ti re
from the wheel . Use l ubri cati on such as a mi l d soap
sol uti on when di smounti ng or mounti ng ti re. Use
tool s free of burrs or sharp edges whi ch coul d dam-
age the ti re or wheel ri m.
Before mounti ng ti re on wheel , make sure al l rust
i s removed from the ri m bead and repai nt i f neces-
sary.

TIRE AND WHEEL MATCH MOUNTING
Wheel s and ti res are match mounted at the factory.
Thi s means that the hi gh spot of the ti re i s matched
to the l ow spot on the wheel ri m. Thi s techni que i s
used to reduce run-out i n the wheel /ti re assembl y.
The hi gh spot on the ti re i s marked wi th a pai nt
mark or a bri ght col ored adhesi ve l abel on the out-
board si dewal l . The l ow spot on the ri m i s i denti fi ed

been removed the ti re wi l l have to be removed to
l ocate the dot or l i ne on the i nsi de of the ri m.
Before di smounti ng a ti re from i ts wheel , a refer-
ence mark shoul d be pl aced on the ti re at the val ve
stem l ocati on. Thi s reference wi l l ensure that i t i s
remounted i n the ori gi nal posi ti on on the wheel .
(1) Measure the total i ndi cator runout on the cen-
ter of the ti re tread ri b. Record the i ndi cator readi ng.
Mark the ti re to i ndi cate the hi gh spot. Pl ace a mark
on the ti re at the val ve stem l ocati on (Fi g. 8).
(2) Break down the ti re and remount i t 180
degrees on the ri m (Fi g. 9).

DESCRIPTION AND OPERATION
WHEEL INFORMATION
Ori gi nal equi pment wheel s are desi gned for proper
operati on at al l l oads up to the speci fi ed maxi mum
vehi cl e capaci ty.
Al l model s use steel or al umi num drop center
wheel s. Every wheel has rai sed secti ons between the
ri m fl anges and ri m drop wel l cal l ed safety humps
(Fi g. 1).
I ni ti al i nfl ati on of the ti res forces the bead over
these rai sed secti ons. I n case of ai r l oss the rai sed
secti ons hol d the ti re i n posi ti on on the wheel unti l
the vehi cl e can be brought to a safe stop.
Cast al umi num wheel s requi re speci al bal ance
wei ghts to fi t on the thi cker fl ange of the ri m and
speci al wheel cl amps for the al i gnment equi pment.
The wheel studs and nuts are desi gned for the spe-
ci fi c wheel appl i cati ons used on a vehi cl e and must
be repl aced wi th equi val ent parts.
Do not use repl acement parts of l esser qual i ty or of
a substi tute desi gn from the ori gi nal equi pment part.
Al l al umi num wheel s have wheel stud nuts wi th
an enl arged nose. Thi s enl arged nose i s necessary to
ensure proper retenti on of the wheel s.
Vehi cl es that are equi pped wi th bol t-on wheel cov-
ers use l arge nose wheel nuts. The wheel nuts used
on a vehi cl e equi pped wi th bol t-on wheel covers are
external l y threaded so that the wheel covers can be
attached to the wheel nuts.
Before i nstal l i ng a wheel , remove any bui l dup of
corrosi on on the wheel mounti ng surface.
WARNING: INSTALLING WHEELS WITHOUT GOOD
METAL-TO-METAL CONTACT COULD CAUSE LOOS-
ENING OF WHEEL LUG NUTS. THIS COULD
ADVERSELY AFFECT THE SAFETY AND HANDLING
OF YOUR VEHICLE.
DIAGNOSIS AND TESTING

MENT OR VERY HIGH MILEAGE. THE RIM COULD
FAIL WITHOUT WARNING.
TIRE AND WHEEL RUNOUT
NOTE: Runout should always be measured off the
vehicle and on a suitable balance machine.
Radi al run out i s the di fference between the hi gh
and l ow poi nts on the outer edge of the ti re or wheel .
Lateral run out i s the total si detosi de wobbl e of
the ti re or wheel .
Radi al run out of more than 0.762 mm (.030 i nch)
measured at the center l i ne of the tread may cause
the vehi cl e to shake.
Lateral run out of more than 0.762 mm (.030 i nch)
measured at the si de of the ti re as cl ose to the tread
as possi bl e may cause the vehi cl e to shake.
Someti mes radi al run out can be reduced by rel o-
cati ng the wheel and ti re on the wheel studs (See
Method 1). I f thi s does not reduce run out to an
acceptabl e l evel , the ti re can be rotated on the wheel .
(See Method 2).
METHOD 1 (RELOCATE WHEEL ON HUB)
Check accuracy of the wheel mounti ng surface;
adjust wheel beari ngs.
Dri ve vehi cl e a short di stance to el i mi nate ti re fl at
spotti ng from a parked posi ti on.
Veri fy al l wheel nuts are properl y torqued (Fi g. 2).
Use run out gauge D-128-TR to determi ne run out
(Fi g. 3).
Rel ocate the wheel on the mounti ng studs, two
studs over from the ori gi nal posi ti on.
Reti ghten wheel nuts unti l al l are properl y
torqued. Thi s wi l l prevent brake di storti on.
Check radi al run out. I f sti l l excessi ve, mark ti re
si dewal l , wheel , and stud at poi nt of maxi mum run
out (Fi g. 4) and proceed to Method 2.
METHOD 2 (RELOCATE TIRE ON WHEEL)
Rotati ng ti re on wheel i s parti cul arl y effecti ve
when there i s run out i n both ti re and wheel .
Remove ti re from wheel and remount wheel on hub
i n former posi ti on.
Check the radi al run out of the wheel (Fi g. 5). The

SHEETS, AND USE ONLY ADHESIVES THAT THEIR
MANUFACTURES WARRANT WILL RESTORE A
VEHICLE TO THE REQUIREMENTS OF FMVSS 212.
TECHNICIANS SHOULD ALSO INSURE THAT PRIM-
ERS AND CLEANERS ARE COMPATIBLE WITH THE
PARTICULAR ADHESIVE USED.
BE SURE TO REFER TO THE URETHANE MANU-
FACTURERS DIRECTIONS FOR CURING TIME
SPECIFICATIONS, AND DO NOT USE ADHESIVE
AFTER ITS EXPIRATION DATE.
VAPORS THAT ARE EMITTED FROM THE URE-
THANE ADHESIVE OR PRIMER COULD CAUSE
PERSONAL INJURY. USE THEM IN A WELL-VENTI-
LATED AREA.
SKIN CONTACT WITH URETHANE ADHESIVE
SHOULD BE AVOIDED. PERSONAL INJURY MAY
RESULT.
ALWAYS WEAR EYE AND HAND PROTECTION
WHEN WORKING WITH GLASS.

DIAGNOSIS AND TESTING
WATER LEAKS
Water l eaks can be caused by poor seal i ng,
i mproper body component al i gnment, body seam
porosi ty, mi ssi ng pl ugs, or bl ocked drai n hol es. Cen-
tri fugal and gravi tati onal force can cause water to
dri p from a l ocati on away from the actual l eak poi nt,
maki ng l eak detecti on di ffi cul t. Al l body seal i ng
poi nts shoul d be water ti ght i n normal wet-dri vi ng
condi ti ons. Water fl owi ng downward from the front of
the vehi cl e shoul d not enter the passenger or l uggage
compartment. Movi ng seal i ng surfaces wi l l not
al ways seal water ti ght under al l condi ti ons. At
ti mes, si de gl ass or door seal s wi l l al l ow water to
enter the passenger compartment duri ng hi gh pres-
sure washi ng or hard dri vi ng rai n (severe) condi -
ti ons. Overcompensati ng on door or gl ass
adjustments to stop a water l eak that occurs under
severe condi ti ons can cause premature seal wear and
excessi ve cl osi ng or l atchi ng effort. After compl eti ng
a repai r, water-test vehi cl e to veri fy l eak has stopped
before returni ng vehi cl e to use.
VISUAL INSPECTION BEFORE WATER LEAK
TESTS
Veri fy that fl oor and body pl ugs are i n pl ace, body
drai ns are cl ear, and body components are properl y
al i gned and seal ed. I f component al i gnment or seal -
i ng i s necessary, refer to the appropri ate secti on of
thi s group for proper procedures.
WATER LEAK TESTS
WARNING: DO NOT USE ELECTRIC SHOP LIGHTS
OR TOOLS IN WATER TEST AREA. PERSONAL
INJURY CAN RESULT.
When the condi ti ons causi ng a water l eak have
been determi ned, si mul ate the condi ti ons as cl osel y
as possi bl e.
I f a l eak occurs wi th the vehi cl e parked i n a
steady l i ght rai n, fl ood the l eak area wi th an open-
ended garden hose.
I f a l eak occurs whi l e dri vi ng at hi ghway speeds
i n a steady rai n, test the l eak area wi th a reasonabl e
vel oci ty stream or fan spray of water. Di rect the
spray i n a di recti on comparabl e to actual condi ti ons.
I f a l eak occurs when the vehi cl e i s parked on an
i ncl i ne, hoi st the end or si de of the vehi cl e to si mu-
l ate thi s condi ti on. Thi s method can be used when
the l eak occurs when the vehi cl e accel erates, stops or
turns. I f the l eak occurs on accel erati on, hoi st the
front of the vehi cl e. I f the l eak occurs when braki ng,
hoi st the back of the vehi cl e. I f the l eak occurs on l eft
turns, hoi st the l eft si de of the vehi cl e. I f the l eak
occurs on ri ght turns, hoi st the ri ght si de of the vehi -
cl e. For hoi sti ng recommendati ons refer to Group 0,
Lubri cati on and Mai ntenance, General I nformati on
secti on.
WATER LEAK DETECTION
To detect a water l eak poi nt-of-entry, do a water
test and watch for water tracks or dropl ets formi ng
on the i nsi de of the vehi cl e. I f necessary, remove i nte-
ri or tri m covers or panel s to gai n vi sual access to the
l eak area. I f the hose cannot be posi ti oned wi thout
bei ng hel d, have someone hel p do the water test.
NS BODY 23 - 23
Some water l eaks must be tested for a consi derabl e
l ength of ti me to become apparent. When a l eak
appears, fi nd the hi ghest poi nt of the water track or
drop. The hi ghest poi nt usual l y wi l l show the poi nt of
entry. After l eak poi nt has been found, repai r the
l eak and water test to veri fy that the l eak has
stopped.
Locati ng the entry poi nt of water that i s l eaki ng
i nto a cavi ty between panel s can be di ffi cul t. The
trapped water may spl ash or run from the cavi ty,
often at a di stance from the entry poi nt. Most water
l eaks of thi s type become apparent after accel erati ng,
stoppi ng, turni ng, or when on an i ncl i ne.
MIRROR INSPECTION METHOD
When a l eak poi nt area i s vi sual l y obstructed, use
a sui tabl e mi rror to gai n vi sual access. A mi rror can
al so be used to defl ect l i ght to a l i mi ted-access area
to assi st i n l ocati ng a l eak poi nt.
BRIGHT LIGHT LEAK TEST METHOD
Some water l eaks i n the l uggage compartment can
be detected wi thout water testi ng. Posi ti on the vehi -
cl e i n a bri ghtl y l i t area. From i nsi de the darkened
l uggage compartment i nspect around seal s and body
seams. I f necessary, have a hel per di rect a drop l i ght
over the suspected l eak areas around the l uggage
compartment. I f l i ght i s vi si bl e through a normal l y
seal ed l ocati on, water coul d enter through the open-
i ng.
PRESSURIZED LEAK TEST METHOD
When a water l eak i nto the passenger compart-
ment cannot be detected by water testi ng, pressuri ze
the passenger compartment and soap test exteri or of
the vehi cl e. To pressuri ze the passenger compart-
ment, cl ose al l doors and wi ndows, start engi ne, and
set heater control to hi gh bl ower i n HEAT posi ti on. I f
engi ne can not be started, connect a charger to the
battery to ensure adequate vol tage to the bl ower.
Wi th i nteri or pressuri zed, appl y di sh detergent sol u-
ti on to suspected l eak area on the exteri or of the
vehi cl e. Appl y detergent sol uti on wi th spray devi ce or
soft bri stl e brush. I f soap bubbl es occur at a body
seam, joi nt, seal or gasket, the l eak entry poi nt coul d
be at that l ocati on.
WIND NOISE
Wi nd noi se i s the resul t of most ai r l eaks. Ai r l eaks
can be caused by poor seal i ng, i mproper body compo-
nent al i gnment, body seam porosi ty, or mi ssi ng pl ugs
i n the engi ne compartment or door hi nge pi l l ar areas.
Al l body seal i ng poi nts shoul d be ai rti ght i n normal

crosswi nds. Over compensati ng on door or gl ass
adjustments to stop wi nd noi se that occurs under
severe condi ti ons can cause premature seal wear and
excessi ve cl osi ng or l atchi ng effort. After a repai r pro-
cedure has been performed, test vehi cl e to veri fy
noi se has stopped before returni ng vehi cl e to use.
Wi nd noi se can al so be caused by i mproperl y fi tted
exteri or mol di ngs or body ornamentati on. Loose
mol di ngs can fl utter, creati ng a buzzi ng or chatteri ng
noi se. An open cavi ty or protrudi ng edge can create a
whi stl i ng or howl i ng noi se. I nspect the exteri or of the
vehi cl e to veri fy that these condi ti ons do not exi st.
VISUAL INSPECTION BEFORE TESTS
Veri fy that fl oor and body pl ugs are i n pl ace and
body components are al i gned and seal ed. I f component

GENERAL INFORMATION
INTRODUCTION
Both the heater and the heater/ai r condi ti oni ng
systems share many of the same components. Thi s
group wi l l deal wi th both systems together when
component functi on i s common, and separatel y when
they are not.
For proper operati on of the i nstrument panel con-
trol s, refer to the Owners Manual provi ded wi th the
vehi cl e.
Al l vehi cl es are equi pped wi th a common A/C-
heater uni t housi ng assembl y. When the vehi cl e has
onl y a heater system, the evaporator and reci rcul at-
i ng ai r door are omi tted.
An opti onal zone control HVAC uni t i s avai l abl e.
Thi s uni t has dual bl end-ai r doors that can be regu-
l ated i ndependentl y of each other. The temperature

SAFETY PRECAUTIONS AND WARNINGS
WARNING: WEAR EYE PROTECTION WHEN SER-
VICING THE AIR CONDITIONING REFRIGERANT
SYSTEM. SERIOUS EYE INJURY CAN RESULT
FROM EYE CONTACT WITH REFRIGERANT. IF EYE
CONTACT IS MADE, SEEK MEDICAL ATTENTION
IMMEDIATELY.
DO NOT EXPOSE REFRIGERANT TO OPEN
FLAME. POISONOUS GAS IS CREATED WHEN
REFRIGERANT IS BURNED. AN ELECTRONIC TYPE
LEAK DETECTOR IS RECOMMENDED.
LARGE AMOUNTS OF REFRIGERANT RELEASED
IN A CLOSED WORK AREA WILL DISPLACE THE
OXYGEN AND CAUSE SUFFOCATION.
THE EVAPORATION RATE OF REFRIGERANT AT
AVERAGE TEMPERATURE AND ALTITUDE IS
EXTREMELY HIGH. AS A RESULT, ANYTHING THAT
COMES IN CONTACT WITH THE REFRIGERANT
WILL FREEZE. ALWAYS PROTECT SKIN OR DELI-
CATE OBJECTS FROM DIRECT CONTACT WITH
REFRIGERANT. R-134a SERVICE EQUIPMENT OR
VEHICLE A/C SYSTEM SHOULD NOT BE PRES-
SURE TESTED OR LEAK TESTED WITH COM-
PRESSED AIR.
SOME MIXTURES OF AIR and R-134a HAVE BEEN
SHOWN TO BE COMBUSTIBLE AT ELEVATED
PRESSURES. THESE MIXTURES ARE POTENTIALLY
DANGEROUS AND MAY RESULT IN FIRE OR
EXPLOSION CAUSING INJURY OR PROPERTY
DAMAGE.
ANTIFREEZE IS AN ETHYLENE GLYCOL BASE
COOLANT AND IS HARMFUL IF SWALLOWED OR
INHALED. SEEK MEDICAL ATTENTION IMMEDI-
ATELY IF SWALLOWED OR INHALED. DO NOT
STORE IN OPEN OR UNMARKED CONTAINERS.
WASH SKIN AND CLOTHING THOROUGHLY AFTER
COMING IN CONTACT WITH ETHYLENE GLYCOL.
KEEP OUT OF REACH OF CHILDREN AND PETS.
DO NOT OPEN A COOLING SYSTEM WHEN THE
ENGINE IS AT RUNNING TEMPERATURE. PER-
SONAL INJURY CAN RESULT.
CAUTION: The engine cooling system is designed
to develop internal pressure of 97 to 123 kPa (14 to
18 psi). Allow the vehicle to cool a minimum of 15
minutes before opening the cooling system. Refer
to Group 7, Cooling System.
DESCRIPTION AND OPERATION
AIR DISTRIBUTION DUCTS
The ai r di stri buti on ducts for the A/C, Heater,
Defroster, and Second Seati ng Ai r Di stri buti on are
not servi ceabl e i n vehi cl e. The procedures for servi ce
of these ducts are covered i n Group 8E, I nstrument
Panel and Gauges.
The onl y ducts that are servi ceabl e i n the vehi cl e
are the si de wi ndow demi ster ducts and the ducts
that feed the front door outl ets for the fi rst rear pas-
senger(s) seati ng. To servi ce the door ducts refer to
Group 23, Body.
A/C PRESSURE TRANSDUCER
The A/C Pressure Transducer (Fi g. 1) moni tors the
refri gerant gas pressure on the hi gh si de of the sys-
tem. The transducer i s l ocated on the l i qui d l i ne. The
pressure transducer turns off the vol tage to the com-
pressor cl utch coi l when refri gerant gas pressure
drops to l evel s that coul d damage the compressor.
The transducer al so i s used to adjust condenser fan
speeds and wi l l turn off compressor at hi gh refri ger-
ant pressures. The pressure transducer i s a seal ed
factory cal i brated uni t. I t must be repl aced i f defec-
ti ve. O-ri ng repl acement i s requi red whenever the
pressure transducer i s servi ced. Be sure to use the
O-ri ng speci fi ed for the transducer.
A/C SERVICE PORTS
The A/C servi ce port val ve cores are l ocated wi thi n
the A/C l i nes (Fi g. 2). The Hi gh Si de (Di scharge)
val ve servi ce port i s l ocated on the l i qui d l i ne near
the ri ght frame rai l . The Low Si de (Sucti on) val ve
servi ce port i s l ocated on the sucti on l i ne near the
compressor.
24 - 2 HEATING AND AIR CONDITIONING NS
The Hi gh Si de servi ce port i s a two pi ece port and
i s servi ceabl e. The Low Si de servi ce port i s not ser-
vi ceabl e, the sucti on l i ne woul d have to be repl aced.
REAR BLOWER SPEED SWITCH
The rear bl ower speed swi tch control s the rear
bl ower wi th the choi ce of l ow and hi gh speeds. When
the swi tch i s on i t al l ows the bl ower speed swi tch
l ocated on the rear headl i ner to control rear bl ower
speed. Thi s swi tch wi l l overri de the rear headl i ner
bl ower swi tch. For operati on i nstructi ons refer to the
Owners Manual . The rear bl ower speed swi tch i s
servi ced separatel y from the A/C control modul e. For
servi ce procedures, refer to Group 8E, I nstrument
Panel And Gauges.
COMPRESSOR HIGH-PRESSURE RELIEF VALVE
The Hi gh Pressure Rel i ef Val ve prevents damage
to the ai r condi ti oni ng system i f excessi ve pressure
devel ops. Excessi ve pressure can be caused by con-
denser ai r fl ow bl ockage, refri gerant overcharge, or
ai r and moi sture i n the system.
The hi gh pressure rel i ef val ve vents onl y a smal l
amount of refri gerant necessary to reduce system
pressure and then reseats i tsel f. The majori ty of the
refri gerant i s conserved i n the system. The val ve i s
cal i brated to vent at a pressure of 3450 to 4140 kPa
(500 to 600 psi ). I f a val ve has vented a smal l
amount of refri gerant, i t does not necessari l y mean
the val ve i s defecti ve.
The Hi gh Pressure Rel i ef Val ve i s l ocated on the
compressor mani fol d at the di scharge passage.
NOTE: Special effort must be used to keep all
R-134a system components moisture-free. Moisture
in the oil is very difficult to remove and will cause a
reliability problem with the compressor.
CONDENSATE DRAIN
Condensati on from the evaporator housi ng i s
drai ned through the dash panel and on to the
ground. Thi s drai n must be kept open to prevent
water from col l ecti ng i n the bottom of the housi ng.
I f the drai n i s bl ocked condensate cannot drai n,
causi ng water to back up and spi l l i nto the passenger
compartment. I t i s normal to see condensate drai n-
age bel ow the vehi cl e.
ENGINE COOLING SYSTEM REQUIREMENTS
To mai ntai n ampl e temperature l evel s from the
heati ng-A/C system, the cool i ng system must be i n
proper worki ng order. Refer to Group 0, Lubri cati on
and Mai ntenance or Group 7, Cool i ng System of thi s
manual .
The use of a bug screen i s not recommended. Any
obstructi ons forward of the condenser can reduce the
effecti veness of the ai r condi ti oni ng system.
EVAPORATOR PROBE
The Evaporator probe i s l ocated on the HVAC. The
probe prevents evaporator freeze-up by si gnal i ng the
Powertrai n Control Modul e to cycl e the compressor
ON and OFF. The probe moni tors the temperature of
the refri gerant after expansi on.
The evaporator probe i s i nserted i nto the evapora-
tor between the coi l s. The probe i s a seal ed uni t and
cannot be adjusted or repai red. I t must be repl aced i f

Ki nks i n the refri gerant tubi ng or sharp bends i n
the refri gerant hose l i nes wi l l greatl y reduce the
capaci ty of the enti re system. Hi gh pressures are pro-
duced i n the system when i t i s operati ng. Extreme
care must be exerci sed to make sure that al l connec-
ti ons are pressure ti ght. Di rt and moi sture can enter
the system when i t i s opened for repai r or repl ace-
ment of l i nes or components. The refri gerant oi l wi l l

wi l l convert i nto aci ds wi thi n a cl osed system.
CAUTION: The system must be completely empty
before opening any fitting or connection in the
refrigeration system. Open fittings with caution
even after the system has been emptied. If any
pressure is noticed as a fitting is loosened,
retighten fitting and evacuate the system again.
A good rule for the flexible hose lines is to keep
the radius of all bends at least 10 times the diame-
ter of the hose. Sharper bends will reduce the flow
of refrigerant. The flexible hose lines should be
routed so they are at least 3 inches (80 mm) from
the exhaust manifold. Inspect all flexible hose lines
to make sure they are in good condition and prop-
erly routed.
The use of correct wrenches when making con-
nections is very important. Improper wrenches or
improper use of wrenches can damage the fittings.
The internal parts of the A/C system will remain
stable as long as moisture-free refrigerant and
refrigerant oil is used. Abnormal amounts of dirt,
moisture or air can upset the chemical stability.
This may cause operational troubles or even seri-
ous damage if present in more than very small
quantities.
When opening a refrigeration system, have every-
thing you will need to repair the system ready. This
will minimize the amount of time the system must
be opened. Cap or plug all lines and fittings as
soon as they are opened. This will help prevent the
entrance of dirt and moisture. All new lines and
components should be capped or sealed until they
are ready to be used.
All tools, including the refrigerant dispensing
manifold, the manifold gauge set, and test hoses
should be kept clean and dry.

SYSTEM OIL LEVEL
I t i s i mportant to have the correct amount of oi l i n
the A/C system to ensure proper l ubri cati on of the
compressor. Too l i ttl e oi l wi l l resul t i n damage to the
compressor. Too much oi l wi l l reduce the cool i ng
capaci ty of the system and consequentl y resul t i n
hi gher di scharge ai r temperatures.
NOTE: The oil used in the compressor is ND8 PAG
R134a refrigerant oil. Only refrigerant oil of the
same type should be used to service the system.
Do not use any other oil. The oil container should
be kept tightly capped until it is ready for use.
Tightly cap afterwards to prevent contamination
from dirt and moisture. Refrigerant oil will quickly
absorb any moisture it comes in contact with. Spe-
cial effort must be used to keep all R-134a system
components moisture-free. Moisture in the oil is
very difficult to remove and will cause a reliability
problem with the compressor.
I t wi l l not be necessary to check oi l l evel i n the
compressor or to add oi l unl ess there has been an oi l
l oss. Oi l l oss at a l eak poi nt wi l l be evi dent by the
presence of a wet, shi ny surface around the l eak.
REFRIGERANT OIL LEVEL CHECK
When an ai r condi ti oni ng system i s fi rst assem-
bl ed, al l components (except the compressor) are
refri gerant oi l free. After the system has been
charged wi th R134a refri gerant and operated, the oi l
i n the compressor i s di spersed through the l i nes and
components. The evaporator, condenser, and fi l ter-
dri er wi l l retai n a si gni fi cant amount of oi l , refer to
the Refri gerant Oi l Capaci ti es chart. When a compo-
nent i s repl aced, the speci fi ed amount of refri gerant
oi l must be added. When the compressor i s repl aced,
the amount of oi l that i s retai ned i n the rest of the
system must be drai ned from the repl acement com-
pressor. When a l i ne or component has ruptured and
oi l has escaped, the compressor shoul d be removed
and drai ned. The fi l ter-dri er must be repl aced al ong
wi th the ruptured part. The oi l capaci ty of the sys-
tem, mi nus the amount of oi l sti l l i n the remai ni ng
components, can be measured and poured i nto the
sucti on port of the compressor.
Exampl e: On a dual system the evaporator retai ns
60 ml (2 oz). The condenser retai ns 30 ml (1 oz) of
oi l , and system capaci ty may be 220 ml (7.40 oz) of
oi l .
220 ml mi nus 90 ml = 130 ml (4.40 oz).

SAFETY PRECAUTIONS AND WARNINGS
WARNING: WEAR EYE PROTECTION WHEN SER-
VICING THE AIR CONDITIONING REFRIGERANT
SYSTEM. SERIOUS EYE INJURY CAN RESULT
FROM EYE CONTACT WITH REFRIGERANT. IF EYE
CONTACT IS MADE, SEEK MEDICAL ATTENTION
IMMEDIATELY.
DO NOT EXPOSE REFRIGERANT TO OPEN
FLAME. POISONOUS GAS IS CREATED WHEN
REFRIGERANT IS BURNED. AN ELECTRONIC TYPE
LEAK DETECTOR IS RECOMMENDED.
LARGE AMOUNTS OF REFRIGERANT RELEASED
IN A CLOSED WORK AREA WILL DISPLACE THE
OXYGEN AND CAUSE SUFFOCATION.
THE EVAPORATION RATE OF REFRIGERANT AT
AVERAGE TEMPERATURE AND ALTITUDE IS
EXTREMELY HIGH. AS A RESULT, ANYTHING THAT
COMES IN CONTACT WITH THE REFRIGERANT
WILL FREEZE. ALWAYS PROTECT SKIN OR DELI-
CATE OBJECTS FROM DIRECT CONTACT WITH
REFRIGERANT. R-134a SERVICE EQUIPMENT OR
VEHICLE A/C SYSTEM SHOULD NOT BE PRES-
SURE TESTED OR LEAK TESTED WITH COM-
PRESSED AIR.
SOME MIXTURES OF AIR and R-134a HAVE BEEN
SHOWN TO BE COMBUSTIBLE AT ELEVATED
PRESSURES. THESE MIXTURES ARE POTENTIALLY
DANGEROUS AND MAY RESULT IN FIRE OR
EXPLOSION CAUSING INJURY OR PROPERTY
DAMAGE.
ANTIFREEZE IS AN ETHYLENE GLYCOL BASE
COOLANT AND IS HARMFUL IF SWALLOWED OR
INHALED. SEEK MEDICAL ATTENTION IMMEDI-
ATELY IF SWALLOWED OR INHALED. DO NOT
STORE IN OPEN OR UNMARKED CONTAINERS.
WASH SKIN AND CLOTHING THOROUGHLY AFTER
COMING IN CONTACT WITH ETHYLENE GLYCOL.
KEEP OUT OF REACH OF CHILDREN AND PETS.
DO NOT OPEN A COOLING SYSTEM WHEN THE
ENGINE IS AT RUNNING TEMPERATURE. PER-
SONAL INJURY CAN RESULT.
CAUTION: The engine cooling system is designed
to develop internal pressure of 97 to 123 kPa (14 to
18 psi). Allow the vehicle to cool a minimum of 15
minutes before opening the cooling system. Refer
to Group 7, Cooling System.
DESCRIPTION AND OPERATION
AIR DISTRIBUTION DUCTS
The ai r di stri buti on ducts for the A/C, Heater,
Defroster, and Second Seati ng Ai r Di stri buti on are
not servi ceabl e i n vehi cl e. The procedures for servi ce
of these ducts are covered i n Group 8E, I nstrument
Panel and Gauges.
The onl y ducts that are servi ceabl e i n the vehi cl e
are the si de wi ndow demi ster ducts and the ducts
that feed the front door outl ets for the fi rst rear pas-
senger(s) seati ng. To servi ce the door ducts refer to
Group 23, Body.
A/C PRESSURE TRANSDUCER
The A/C Pressure Transducer (Fi g. 1) moni tors the
refri gerant gas pressure on the hi gh si de of the sys-
tem. The transducer i s l ocated on the l i qui d l i ne. The
pressure transducer turns off the vol tage to the com-
pressor cl utch coi l when refri gerant gas pressure
drops to l evel s that coul d damage the compressor.
The transducer al so i s used to adjust condenser fan
speeds and wi l l turn off compressor at hi gh refri ger-
ant pressures. The pressure transducer i s a seal ed
factory cal i brated uni t. I t must be repl aced i f defec-
ti ve. O-ri ng repl acement i s requi red whenever the
pressure transducer i s servi ced. Be sure to use the
O-ri ng speci fi ed for the transducer.
A/C SERVICE PORTS
The A/C servi ce port val ve cores are l ocated wi thi n
the A/C l i nes. The Hi gh Si de (Di scharge) val ve ser-
vi ce port i s l ocated on the l i qui d l i ne near the ri ght
strut tower. The Low Si de (Sucti on) val ve servi ce
port i s l ocated on the sucti on l i ne near the compres-
sor.
The Hi gh Si de servi ce port i s a two pi ece port and
i s servi ceabl e. The Low Si de servi ce port i s not ser-
vi ceabl e, and the sucti on l i ne woul d have to be
repl aced.
COMPRESSOR
The A/C compressor for the 2.5L Turbo Di esel , i s
l ocated on the front si de of the engi ne bl ock. I t i s
mounted to the engi ne bl ock by four bol ts. The com-

GENERAL INFORMATION (Continued)
pressor i s dri ven off the back of the power steeri ng
pump. A rubber fl ex coupl i ng transfers the power from
the power steeri ng pump to the compressor cl utch.
COMPRESSOR HIGH-PRESSURE RELIEF VALVE
The Hi gh Pressure Rel i ef Val ve prevents damage
to the ai r condi ti oni ng system i f excessi ve pressure
devel ops. Excessi ve pressure can be caused by con-
denser ai r fl ow bl ockage, refri gerant overcharge, or
ai r and moi sture i n the system.
The hi gh pressure rel i ef val ve vents onl y a smal l
amount of refri gerant necessary to reduce system
pressure and then reseats i tsel f. The majori ty of the
refri gerant i s conserved i n the system. The val ve i s
cal i brated to vent at a pressure of 3450 to 4140 kPa
(500 to 600 psi ). I f a val ve has vented a smal l
amount of refri gerant, i t does not necessari l y mean
the val ve i s defecti ve.
The Hi gh Pressure Rel i ef Val ve i s l ocated on the
compressor mani fol d at the di scharge passage.
NOTE: Special effort must be used to keep all
R-134a system components moisture-free. Moisture
in the oil is very difficult to remove and will cause a
reliability problem with the compressor.
CONDENSATE DRAIN
Condensati on from the evaporator housi ng i s
drai ned through the dash panel and on to the
ground. Thi s drai n must be kept open to prevent
water from col l ecti ng i n the bottom of the housi ng.
I f the drai n i s bl ocked condensate cannot drai n,
causi ng water to back up and spi l l i nto the passenger
compartment. I t i s normal to see condensate drai n-
age bel ow the vehi cl e.
ENGINE COOLING SYSTEM REQUIREMENTS
To mai ntai n ampl e temperature l evel s from the
heati ng-A/C system, the cool i ng system must be i n
proper worki ng order. Refer to Group 0, Lubri cati on
and Mai ntenance or Group 7, Cool i ng System of thi s
manual .
The use of a bug screen i s not recommended. Any
obstructi ons forward of the condenser can reduce the
effecti veness of the ai r condi ti oni ng system.
EVAPORATOR PROBE
The Evaporator probe i s l ocated on the HVAC. The
probe prevents evaporator freeze-up by si gnal i ng the
Powertrai n Control Modul e to cycl e the compressor
ON and OFF. The probe moni tors the temperature of
the refri gerant after expansi on.
The evaporator probe i s i nserted i nto the evapora-
tor between the coi l s. The probe i s a seal ed uni t and
cannot be adjusted or repai red. I t must be repl aced i f
found defecti ve.
HANDLING TUBING AND FITTINGS
Ki nks i n the refri gerant tubi ng or sharp bends i n
the refri gerant hose l i nes wi l l greatl y reduce the
capaci ty of the enti re system. Hi gh pressures are pro-
duced i n the system when i t i s operati ng. Extreme
care must be exerci sed to make sure that al l connec-
ti ons are pressure ti ght. Di rt and moi sture can enter
the system when i t i s opened for repai r or repl ace-
ment of l i nes or components. The refri gerant oi l wi l l
absorb moi sture readi l y out of the ai r. Thi s moi sture
wi l l convert i nto aci ds wi thi n a cl osed system.
CAUTION: The system must be completely empty
before opening any fitting or connection in the
refrigeration system. Open fittings with caution
even after the system has been emptied. If any
pressure is noticed as a fitting is loosened,
retighten fitting and evacuate the system again.
A good rule for the flexible hose lines is to keep
the radius of all bends at least 10 times the diame-
ter of the hose. Sharper bends will reduce the flow
of refrigerant. The flexible hose lines should be
routed so they are at least 3 inches (80 mm) from
the exhaust manifold. Inspect all flexible hose lines
to make sure they are in good condition and prop-
erly routed.
The use of correct wrenches when making con-
nections is very important. Improper wrenches or
improper use of wrenches can damage the fittings.
The internal parts of the A/C system will remain
stable as long as moisture-free refrigerant and
refrigerant oil is used. Abnormal amounts of dirt,
moisture or air can upset the chemical stability.
This may cause operational troubles or even seri-
ous damage if present in more than very small
quantities.
When opening a refrigeration system, have every-
thing you will need to repair the system ready. This
will minimize the amount of time the system must
be opened. Cap or plug all lines and fittings as
soon as they are opened. This will help prevent the
entrance of dirt and moisture. All new lines and
components should be capped or sealed until they
are ready to be used.
All tools, including the refrigerant dispensing
manifold, the manifold gauge set, and test hoses
should be kept clean and dry.
HVAC CONTROL MODULE
The HVAC control modul e regul ates the operati on
of the vari ous actuator motors. The actuator motors
are used to move the mode, bl end- ai r, and reci rc.
doors (Fi g. 2).
The control modul e i s i ncl uded i n the A/C control

NOTE: The oil used in the Denso 2.5L Turbo Diesel
and the Denso 2.0L gasoline engine compressors is
ND-8 PAG R134a refrigerant oil. Only refrigerant oil
of the same type should be used to service the sys-
tem. Do not use any other oil. The oil container
should be kept tightly capped until it is ready for
use. Tightly cap afterwards to prevent contamina-
tion from dirt and moisture. Refrigerant oil will
quickly absorb any moisture it comes in contact
with. Special effort must be used to keep all R-134a
system components moisture-free. Moisture in the
oil is very difficult to remove and will cause a reli-
ability problem with the compressor.
I t wi l l not be necessary to check oi l l evel i n the
compressor or to add oi l unl ess there has been an oi l
l oss. Oi l l oss at a l eak poi nt wi l l be evi dent by the
presence of a wet, shi ny surface around the l eak.
REFRIGERANT OIL LEVEL CHECK
When an ai r condi ti oni ng system i s fi rst assem-
bl ed, al l components (except the compressor) are
refri gerant oi l free. After the system has been
charged wi th R134a refri gerant and operated, the oi l
i n the compressor i s di spersed through the l i nes and
components. The evaporator, condenser, and fi l ter-
dri er wi l l retai n a si gni fi cant amount of oi l , refer to
the Refri gerant Oi l Capaci ti es chart. When a compo-
nent i s repl aced, the speci fi ed amount of refri gerant
oi l must be added. When the compressor i s repl aced,
the amount of oi l that i s retai ned i n the rest of the
system must be drai ned from the repl acement com-
pressor. When a l i ne or component has ruptured and
oi l has escaped, the compressor shoul d be removed
and drai ned. The compressor i s drai ned through the
sucti on port or by removi ng the sump bol t on top of
the compressor, refer to Compressor Removal and
I nstal l ati on procedures. The fi l ter-dri er must be
repl aced al ong wi th the ruptured part. The oi l capac-
i ty of the system, mi nus the amount of oi l sti l l i n the
remai ni ng components, can be measured and poured
i nto the sucti on port of the compressor.
Exampl e: The evaporator retai ns 50 ml (1.7 oz.).
The condenser retai ns 30 ml (1 oz) of oi l , and system
capaci ty may be 220 ml (7.40 oz) of oi l .
220 ml mi nus 90 ml = 130 ml (4.40 oz.).
CAUTION: The refrigerant oil used in a R-134a A/C
system is unique. Use only oils which were designed
to work with R-134a refrigerant. The oil designated
for the Denso 2.5L Turbo Diesel and Denso 2.0L gas-
oline engine compressors is ND-8 PAG compressor
oil. For gasoline vehicles still using R-12 refrigerant,
use ND8 PAG compressor oil.
SERVICING REFRIGERANT OIL LEVEL

EVACUATING REFRIGERANT SYSTEM
NOTE: Special effort must be used to prevent mois-
ture from entering the A/C system oil. Moisture in
the oil is very difficult to remove and will cause a
reliability problem with the compressor.
I f a compressor desi gned to use R-134a refri gerant
i s l eft open to the atmosphere for an extended peri od
of ti me. I t i s recommended that the refri gerant oi l be
drai ned and repl aced wi th new oi l or a new compres-
sor be used. Thi s wi l l el i mi nate the possi bi l i ty of con-
tami nati ng the refri gerant system.
I f the refri gerant system has been open to the
atmosphere, i t must be evacuated before the system
can be fi l l ed. Moi sture and ai r mi xed wi th the refri g-
erant wi l l rai se the compressor head pressure above

formance of the ai r condi ti oner and damage the com-
pressor. Moi sture wi l l boi l at near room temperature
when exposed to vacuum. To evacuate the refri gerant
system:
NOTE: When connecting the service equipment
coupling to the line fitting, verify that the valve of
the coupling is fully closed. This will reduce the
amount of effort required to make the connection.
(1) Connect a sui tabl e chargi ng stati on, refri gerant
recovery machi ne, or a mani fol d gauge set wi th vac-
uum pump to the servi ce ports (Fi g. 10).
(2) Open the sucti on and di scharge val ves and
start the vacuum pump. The vacuum pump shoul d
run a mi ni mum of 45 mi nutes pri or to charge to
el i mi nate al l moi sture i n system. When the sucti on
gauge reads -88 kPa (-26 i n. Hg) vacuum or greater
for 45 mi nutes, cl ose al l val ves and turn off vacuum
pump. I f the system fai l s to reach speci fi ed vacuum,
the refri gerant system l i kel y has a l eak that must be
corrected. I f the refri gerant system mai ntai ns speci -
fi ed vacuum for at l east 30 mi nutes, start the vac-
uum pump, open the sucti on and di scharge val ves.
Then al l ow the system to evacuate an addi ti onal 10

GENERAL INFORMATION
SYSTEM DESCRIPTION
The Powertrai n Control Modul e (PCM) moni tors
many di fferent ci rcui ts i n the fuel i njecti on, i gni ti on,
emi ssi on and engi ne systems. I f the PCM senses a
probl em wi th a moni tored ci rcui t often enough to
i ndi cate an actual probl em, i t stores a Di agnosti c
Troubl e Code (DTC) i n the PCMs memory. I f the
code appl i es to a non-emi ssi ons rel ated component or
system, and the probl em i s repai red or ceases to
exi st, the PCM cancel s the code after 40 warmup
cycl es. Di agnosti c troubl e codes that affect vehi cl e
emi ssi ons i l l umi nate the Mal functi on I ndi cator Lamp
(MI L). Refer to Mal functi on I ndi cator Lamp i n thi s
secti on.
Certai n cri teri a must be met before the PCM
stores a DTC i n memory. The cri teri a may be a spe-
ci fi c range of engi ne RPM, engi ne temperature,
and/or i nput vol tage to the PCM.
The PCM mi ght not store a DTC for a moni tored
ci rcui t even though a mal functi on has occurred. Thi s
may happen because one of the DTC cri teri a for the
ci rcui t has not been met. For example, assume the
di agnosti c troubl e code cri teri a requi res the PCM to
moni tor the ci rcui t onl y when the engi ne operates
between 750 and 2000 RPM. Suppose the sensors
output ci rcui t shorts to ground when engi ne operates
above 2400 RPM (resul ti ng i n 0 vol t i nput to the
PCM). Because the condi ti on happens at an engi ne
speed above the maxi mum threshol d (2000 rpm), the
PCM wi l l not store a DTC.
There are several operati ng condi ti ons for whi ch
the PCM moni tors and sets DTCs. Refer to Moni -
tored Systems, Components, and Non-Moni tored Ci r-
cui ts i n thi s secti on.
NOTE: Various diagnostic procedures may actually
cause a diagnostic monitor to set a DTC. For
instance, pulling a spark plug wire to perform a
spark test may set the misfire code. When a repair
is completed and verified, use the DRB scan tool to
erase all DTCs and extinguish the MIL.
Techni ci ans can di spl ay stored DTCs by usi ng the
DRB scan tool . Refer to Di agnosti c Troubl e Codes i n
thi s secti on. For DTC i nformati on, refer to charts i n
thi s secti on.
DESCRIPTION AND OPERATION
MALFUNCTION INDICATOR LAMP (MIL)
As a functi onal test, the Mal functi on I ndi cator
Lamp (MI L) i l l umi nates at key-on before engi ne
NS EMISSION CONTROL SYSTEMS 25 - 1
cranki ng. Whenever the Powertrai n Control Modul e
(PCM) sets a Di agnosti c Troubl e Code (DTC) that
affects vehi cl e emi ssi ons, i t i l l umi nates the MI L. I f a
probl em i s detected, the PCM sends a message over
the CCD Bus to the i nstrument cl uster to i l l umi nate
the l amp. The PCM i l l umi nates the MI L onl y for
DTCs that affect vehi cl e emi ssi ons. The MI L stays
on conti nuousl y when the PCM has entered a
Li mp-I n mode or i denti fi ed a fai l ed emi ssi on compo-
nent or system. The MI L remai ns on unti l the DTC
i s erased. Refer to the Di agnosti c Troubl e Code
charts i n thi s group for emi ssi on rel ated codes.
Al so, the MI L ei ther fl ashes or i l l umi nates conti n-
uousl y when the PCM detects acti ve engi ne mi sfi re.
Refer to Mi sfi re Moni tori ng i n thi s secti on.
Addi ti onal l y, the PCM may reset (turn off) the MI L
when one of the fol l owi ng occur:
PCM does not detect the mal functi on for 3 con-
secuti ve tri ps (except mi sfi re and fuel system moni -
tors).
PCM does not detect a mal functi on whi l e per-
formi ng three successi ve engi ne mi sfi re or fuel sys-
tem tests. The PCM performs these tests whi l e the
engi ne i s operati ng wi thi n 375 RPM of and wi thi n
10 % of the l oad of the operati ng condi ti on at whi ch
the mal functi on was fi rst detected.
STATE DISPLAY TEST MODE
The swi tch i nputs to the Powertrai n Control Mod-
ul e (PCM) have two recogni zed states; HI GH and
LOW. For thi s reason, the PCM cannot recogni ze the
di fference between a sel ected swi tch posi ti on versus
an open ci rcui t, a short ci rcui t, or a defecti ve swi tch.
I f the State Di spl ay screen shows the change from
HI GH to LOW or LOW to HI GH, assume the enti re
swi tch ci rcui t to the PCM functi ons properl y. From
the state di spl ay screen, access ei ther State Di spl ay
I nputs and Outputs or State Di spl ay Sensors.
STATE DISPLAY INPUTS AND OUTPUTS
Connect the DRB scan tool to the data l i nk connec-
tor and access the State Di spl ay screen. Then access

CIRCUIT ACTUATION TEST MODE
The Ci rcui t Actuati on Test Mode checks for proper
operati on of output ci rcui ts or devi ces the Powertrai n
Control Modul e (PCM) may not i nternal l y recogni ze.
The PCM attempts to acti vate these outputs and
al l ow an observer to veri fy proper operati on. Most of
the tests provi de an audi bl e or vi sual i ndi cati on of
devi ce operati on (cl i ck of rel ay contacts, fuel spray,
etc.). Except for i ntermi ttent condi ti ons, i f a devi ce
functi ons properl y duri ng testi ng, assume the devi ce,
i ts associ ated wi ri ng, and dri ver ci rcui t work cor-
rectl y.
DIAGNOSTIC TROUBLE CODES
A Di agnosti c Troubl e Code (DTC) i ndi cates the
PCM has recogni zed an abnormal condi ti on i n the
system.
The preferred and most accurate method of retri ev-
i ng a DTC i s by usi ng the DRB scan tool . The scan
tool suppl i es detai l ed di agnosti c i nformati on whi ch
can be used to more accuratel y di agnose causes for a
DTC.
Remember that DTCs are the results of a sys-
tem or circuit failure, but do not directly iden-
tify the failed component or components.
NOTE: For a list of DTCs, refer to the charts in this
section.
BULB CHECK
Each ti me the i gni ti on key i s turned to the ON
posi ti on, the mal functi on i ndi cator (check engi ne)
l amp on the i nstrument panel shoul d i l l umi nate for
approxi matel y 2 seconds then go out. Thi s i s done for
a bul b check.
OBTAINING DTCS USING DRB SCAN TOOL
(1) Connect the DRB scan tool to the data l i nk
(di agnosti c) connector. Thi s connector i s l ocated i n
the passenger compartment; at the l ower edge of
i nstrument panel ; near the steeri ng col umn.
(2) Turn the i gni ti on swi tch on and access the
Read Faul t screen.
(3) Record al l the DTCs and freeze frame i nfor-
mati on shown on the DRB scan tool .
(4) To erase DTCs, use the Erase Troubl e Code
data screen on the DRB scan tool . Do not erase any
DTCs until problems have been investigated
and repairs have been performed.

HEX 70, and B4CATALYST MONITOR
To compl y wi th cl ean ai r regul ati ons, vehi cl es are
equi pped wi th catal yti c converters. These converters
reduce the emi ssi on of hydrocarbons, oxi des of ni tro-
gen and carbon monoxi de.
Normal vehi cl e mi l es or engi ne mi sfi re can cause a
catal yst to decay. A mel tdown of the cerami c core can
cause a reducti on of the exhaust passage. Thi s can
i ncrease vehi cl e emi ssi ons and deteri orate engi ne
performance, dri veabi l i ty and fuel economy.
The catal yst moni tor uses dual oxygen sensors
(O2Ss) to moni tor the effi ci ency of the converter. The
dual O2Ss strategy i s based on the fact that as a cat-
al yst deteri orates, i ts oxygen storage capaci ty and i ts
effi ci ency are both reduced. By moni tori ng the oxy-
gen storage capaci ty of a catal yst, i ts effi ci ency can
be i ndi rectl y cal cul ated. The upstream O2S i s used to
detect the amount of oxygen i n the exhaust gas
before the gas enters the catal yti c converter. The
PCM cal cul ates the A/F mi xture from the output of
the O2S. A l ow vol tage i ndi cates hi gh oxygen content
(l ean mi xture). A hi gh vol tage i ndi cates a l ow content
of oxygen (ri ch mi xture).
When the upstream O2S detects a l ean condi ti on,
there i s an abundance of oxygen i n the exhaust gas.
A functi oni ng converter woul d store thi s oxygen so i t
can use i t for the oxi dati on of HC and CO. As the
converter absorbs the oxygen, there wi l l be a l ack of
oxygen downstream of the converter. The output of
the downstraem O2S wi l l i ndi cate l i mi ted acti vi ty i n
thi s condi ti on.
As the converter l oses the abi l i ty to store oxygen,
the condi ti on can be detected from the behavi or of
the downstream O2S. When the effi ci ency drops, no
chemi cal reacti on takes pl ace. Thi s means the con-
centrati on of oxygen wi l l be the same downstream as
upstream. The output vol tage of the downstream
O2S copi es the vol tage of the upstream sensor. The
onl y di fference i s a ti me l ag (seen by the PCM)
between the swi tchi ng of the O2Ss.
To moni tor the system, the number of l ean-to-ri ch
swi tches of upstream and downstream O2Ss i s
counted. The rati o of downstream swi tches to
upstream swi tches i s used to determi ne whether the
catal yst i s operati ng properl y. An effecti ve catal yst
wi l l have fewer downstream swi tches than i t has
upstream swi tches i .e., a rati o cl oser to zero. For a
total l y i neffecti ve catal yst, thi s rati o wi l l be one-to-
one, i ndi cati ng that no oxi dati on occurs i n the devi ce.
The system must be moni tored so that when cata-
l yst effi ci ency deteri orates and exhaust emi ssi ons
i ncrease to over the l egal l i mi t, the MI L (check
engi ne l amp) wi l l be i l l umi nated.

TRIP DEFINITION
A Tri p means vehi cl e operati on (fol l owi ng an
engi ne-off peri od) of durati on and dri vi ng mode such
that al l components and systems are moni tored at
l east once by the di agnosti c system. The moni tors
must successful l y pass before the PCM can veri fy
that a previ ousl y mal functi oni ng component i s meet-

Anyti me the MI L i s i l l umi nated, a DTC i s stored.
The DTC can sel f erase onl y when the MI L has been
exti ngui shed. Once the MI L i s exti ngui shed, the
PCM must pass the di agnosti c test for the most
recent DTC for 40 warm-up cycl es (80 warm-up
cycl es for the Fuel System Moni tor and the Mi sfi re
Moni tor). A warm-up cycl e can best be descri bed by
the fol l owi ng:

A ri se of 40F i n engi ne temperature must occur
from the ti me when the engi ne was started
Engi ne cool ant temperature must reach at l east
160F
A dri vi ng cycl e that consi sts of engi ne start up
and engi ne shut off.
Once the above condi ti ons occur, the PCM i s con-
si dered to have passed a warm-up cycl e. Due to the
condi ti ons requi red to exti ngui sh the MI L and erase
the DTC, i t i s most i mportant that after a repai r has

DESCRIPTION AND OPERATION
EVAPORATION CONTROL SYSTEM
The evaporati on control system prevents the emi s-
si on of fuel tank vapors i nto the atmosphere. When
fuel evaporates i n the fuel tank, the vapors pass
through vent hoses or tubes to a charcoal fi l l ed evap-
orati ve cani ster. The cani ster temporari l y hol ds the
vapors. The Powertrai n Control Modul e (PCM) al l ows
i ntake mani fol d vacuum to draw vapors i nto the com-
busti on chambers duri ng certai n operati ng condi -
ti ons.
Al l engi nes use a duty cycl e purge system. The
PCM control s vapor fl ow by operati ng the duty cycl e
EVAP purge sol enoi d. Refer to Duty Cycl e EVAP
Purge Sol enoi d i n thi s secti on.
NOTE: The evaporative system uses specially man-
ufactured hoses. If they need replacement, only use
fuel resistant hose.
ROLLOVER VALVE
Al l vehi cl es have a rol l over val ve. The val ve al so
prevents fuel fl ow through the fuel tank vent val ve
hoses shoul d the vehi cl e rol l over. Al l vehi cl es pass a
360 rol l over.
The charcoal fi l l ed evaporati ve cani ster stores the
vapors. The rol l over val ve i s not a servi ceabl e i tem.
EVAPORATIVE (EVAP) CANISTER
Al l vehi cl es use a seal ed, mai ntenance free, evapo-
rati ve (charcoal ) cani ster. The cani ster i s attached to
the frame under the dri vers seat (Fi g. 1).
Fuel tank vapor vents i nto the cani ster. The cani s-
ter temporari l y hol ds the fuel vapors unti l i ntake
mani fol d vacuum draws them i nto the combusti on
chamber. The cani ster proporti onal purge sol enoi d
al l ows the cani ster to be purged at predetermi ned
i nterval s and engi ne condi ti ons.
PROPORTIONAL PURGE SOLENOID
Al l vehi cl es use a Proporti onal purge sol enoi d. The
sol enoi d regul ates the rate of vapor fl ow from the
EVAP cani ster to the throttl e body. The PCM oper-
ates the sol enoi d.
Duri ng the col d start warm-up peri od and the hot
start ti me del ay, the PCM does not energi ze the sol e-
noi d. When de-energi zed, no vapors are purged. The
PCM de-energi zes the sol enoi d duri ng open l oop oper-
ati on.
Fig. 1 Evaporative Canister
NS EMISSION CONTROL SYSTEMS 25 - 13
The proporti onal purge sol enoi d operates at a fre-
quency of 200hz and i s control l ed by an engi ne con-
trol l er ci rcui t that senses the current bei ng appl i ed
to the proporti onal purge sol enoi d and then adjusts
that current to achi eve the desi red purge fl ow. The
proporti onal purge sol enoi d control s the purge rate of
fuel vapors from the vapor cani ster and fuel tank to
the engi ne i ntake mani fol d.
PRESSURE-VACUUM FILLER CAP
CAUTION: Remove the fuel filler cap to relieve fuel
tank pressure. The cap must be removed prior to
disconnecting any fuel system component or ser-
vicing the fuel tank.
A pressure-vacuum rel i ef cap seal s the fuel tank
(Fi g. 3). Ti ghteni ng the cap on the fuel fi l l er tube
forms a seal between them. The rel i ef val ves i n the
cap are a safety feature. They prevent possi bl e exces-
si ve pressure or vacuum i n the tank. Excessi ve fuel
tank pressure coul d be caused by a mal functi on i n
the system or damage to the vent l i nes.
The seal between the cap and fi l l er tube breaks
when the cap i s removed and rel i eves fuel tank pres-
sure.
I f the fi l l er cap needs repl acement, onl y use the
correct part.
LEAK DETECTION PUMP
The l eak detecti on pump i s a devi ce used to detect
a l eak i n the evaporati ve system.
The pump contai ns a 3 port sol enoi d, a pump that
contai ns a swi tch, a spri ng l oaded cani ster vent val ve
seal , 2 check val ves and a spri ng/di aphragm.
I mmedi atel y after a col d start, when the engi ne
temperature i s between 40F and 86F, the 3 port
sol enoi d i s bri efl y energi zed. Thi s i ni ti al i zes the
pump by drawi ng ai r i nto the pump cavi ty and al so
cl oses the vent seal . Duri ng non-test test condi ti ons,
the vent seal i s hel d open by the pump di aphragm
assembl y whi ch pushes i t open at the ful l travel posi -

pump i s cycl i ng. Thi s i s due to the operati on of the 3
port sol enoi d whi ch prevents the di aphragm assem-
bl y from reachi ng ful l travel . After the bri ef i ni ti al -
i zati on peri od, the sol enoi d i s de-energi zed, al l owi ng
atmospheri c pressure to enter the pump cavi ty. Thi s
permi ts the spri ng to dri ve the di aphragm whi ch
forces ai r out of the pump cavi ty and i nto the vent
system. When the sol enoi d i s energi zed and de-ener-
gi zed, the cycl e i s repeated creati ng fl ow i n typi cal
di aphragm pump fashi on. The pump i s control l ed i n
2 modes:
PUMP MODE: The pump i s cycl ed at a fi xed rate
to achi eve a rapi d pressure bui l d i n order to shorten
the overal l test ti me.
TEST MODE: The sol enoi d i s energi zed wi th a
fi xed durati on pul se. Subsequent fi xed pul ses occur
when the di aphragm reaches the swi tch cl osure
poi nt.
The spri ng i n the pump i s set so that the system
wi l l achi eve an equal i zed pressure of about 7.5 i nches
of water.
When the pump starts, the cycl e rate i s qui te hi gh.
As the system becomes pressuri zed, pump rate drops.
I f there i s no l eak, the pump wi l l qui t. I f there i s a

GENERAL INFORMATION
SYSTEM DESCRIPTION2. 5L DIESEL ENGINE
The 2.5L di esel Powertrai n Control Modul e (PCM)
moni tors and control s many di fferent ci rcui ts i n the
fuel i njecti on pump and engi ne systems. I f the PCM
senses a probl em wi th a moni tored ci rcui t that i ndi -
cates an actual probl em, a Di agnosti c Troubl e Code
(DTC) wi l l be stored i n the PCMs memory, and even-
tual l y wi l l i l l umi nate the Di esel Gl ow Pl ug l amp con-
stantl y whi l e the key i s on. I f the probl em i s
repai red, or i s i ntermi ttent, the PCM wi l l erase the
DTC after 40 warm-up cycl es. A warm-up cycl e con-
si sts of starti ng the vehi cl e when the engi ne i s col d,
then the engi ne to warms up to a certai n tempera-
ture, and fi nal l y, the engi ne temperature fal l s to a
normal operati ng temperature, then the key i s
turned off.
Certai n cri teri a must be met for a DTC to be
entered i nto PCM memory. The cri teri a may be a
speci fi c range of engi ne rpm, engi ne or fuel tempera-
ture and/or i nput vol tage to the PCM. A DTC i ndi -
cates that the PCM has i denti fi ed an abnormal
si gnal i n a ci rcui t or the system. A DTC may i ndi cate
the resul t of a fai l ure, but never i denti fy the fai l ed
component di rectl y.
There are several operati ng condi ti ons that the
PCM does not moni tor and set a DTC for. Refer to
the fol l owi ng Moni tored Ci rcui ts and NonMoni tored
Ci rcui ts i n thi s secti on.
MONITORED CIRCUITS
The PCM can detect certai n probl ems i n the el ec-
tri cal system.
Open or Shorted Circuit The PCM can deter-
mi ne i f sensor output (whi ch i s the i nput to PCM) i s
wi thi n proper range. I t al so determi nes i f the ci rcui t
i s open or shorted.
Output Device Current Flow The PCM senses
whether the output devi ces are el ectri cal l y connected.
I f there i s a probl em wi th the ci rcui t, the PCM
senses whether the ci rcui t i s open, shorted to ground
(), or shorted to (+) vol tage.
NONMONITORED CIRCUITS
The PCM does not moni tor the fol l owi ng ci rcui ts,
systems or condi ti ons that coul d have mal functi ons
that resul t i n dri veabi l i ty probl ems. A DTC wi l l not
be di spl ayed for these condi ti ons.
Fuel Pressure: Fuel pressure i s control l ed by the
fuel i njecti on pump. The PCM cannot detect prob-
l ems i n thi s component.
Cylinder Compression: The PCM cannot detect
uneven, l ow, or hi gh engi ne cyl i nder compressi on.
Exhaust System: The PCM cannot detect a
pl ugged, restri cted or l eaki ng exhaust system.
Fuel Injector Malfunctions: The PCM cannot
determi ne i f the fuel i njector i s cl ogged, or the wrong
i njector i s i nstal l ed. The fuel i njectors on the di esel
engi ne are not controlled by the PCM, al though a
NS/GS EMISSION CONTROL SYSTEM 25 - 1
defecti ve fuel i njector sensor is monitored by the
PCM.
Vacuum Assist: Leaks or restri cti ons i n the vac-
uum ci rcui ts of vacuum assi sted engi ne control sys-
tem devi ces are not moni tored by the PCM.
PCM System Ground: The PCM cannot deter-
mi ne a poor system ground. However, a DTC may be
generated as a resul t of thi s condi ti on.
PCM Connector Engagement: The PCM cannot
determi ne spread or damaged connector pi ns. How-
ever, a DTC may be generated as a resul t of thi s con-
di ti on.
HIGH AND LOW LIMITS
The PCM compares i nput si gnal vol tages from each
i nput devi ce. I t wi l l establ i sh hi gh and l ow l i mi ts
that are programmed i nto i t for that devi ce. I f the
i nput vol tage i s not wi thi n speci fi cati ons and other
DTC cri teri a are met, a DTC wi l l be stored i n mem-
ory. Other DTC cri teri a mi ght i ncl ude engi ne rpm
l i mi ts or i nput vol tages from other sensors or
swi tches. The other i nputs mi ght have to be sensed
by the PCM when i t senses a hi gh or l ow i nput vol t-
age from the control system devi ce i n questi on.
DESCRIPTION AND OPERATION
DIAGNOSTIC TROUBLE CODES
On the fol l owi ng pages, a l i st of DTCs i s provi ded
for the 2.5L di esel engi ne. A DTC i ndi cates that the
PCM has recogni zed an abnormal si gnal i n a ci rcui t
or the system. A DTC may i ndi cate the resul t of a
fai l ure, but most l i kel y wi l l not i denti fy the fai l ed
component di rectl y.
ACCESSING DIAGNOSTIC TROUBLE CODES
A stored DTC can be di spl ayed through the use of
the DRB I I I scan tool . The DRB I I I connects to the
data l i nk connector. The data l i nk connector i s
l ocated under the i nstrument panel near bottom of
the steeri ng col umn (Fi g. 1).
ERASING TROUBLE CODES
After the probl em has been repai red, use the DRB
I I I scan tool to erase a DTC.

EXHAUST GAS RECIRCULATION (EGR) SYSTEM
GENERAL INFORMATION
The EGR system reduces oxi des of ni trogen (NOx)
i n the engi ne exhaust. Thi s i s accompl i shed by al l ow-
i ng a predetermi ned amount of hot exhaust gas to
reci rcul ate and di l ute the i ncomi ng fuel /ai r mi xture.
A mal functi oni ng EGR system can cause engi ne
stumbl e, sags or hesi tati on, rough i dl e, engi ne stal l -
i ng and poor dri veabi l i ty.
EGR SYSTEM OPERATION
The system consi sts of:
An EGR val ve assembl y. The val ve i s l ocated
behi nd the i ntake mani fol d (Fi g. 2).

i n the engi ne compartment next to the PDC (Fi g. 3).
The EGR sol enoi d opens and cl oses the vaccum sup-
pl y that opens and cl oses the EGR val ve. The
amount of ti me the EGR sol enoi d i s hel d open i s con-
trol l ed by the PCM. Thi s i s referred to as the on
ti me of the EGR val ve.
An EGR tube (Fi g. 2) connecti ng a passage i n
the EGR val ve to the rear of the exhaust mani fol d.
The vacuum pump, whi ch suppl i es vacuum for
the EGR Sol enoi d val ve. Thi s pump al so suppl i es
